Letter from fmr. US Deputy CTO to Egypt's IT Minister who shut off Internet

“Egypt’s Cabinet has just submitted its resignation, and a new Prime Minister has been appointed. As Egypt’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology since 2004, you are now most likely heading back to private life. As a friend, I write to urge you to take one final action before you walk out the door of your Ministry: Give the order to reconnect Egypt to the global Internet, and to drop all remaining blocks on wireless networks.”—Andrew McLaughlin, in the Huffington Post.
