Egypt Gets Mobile Phone Service Back
Computerworld: Vodafone and France Telecom say cell phone service, which had been cut off late last week, has been restored even as protests in Egypt continue.
""We would like to make it clear that the authorities in Egypt have the technical capability to close our network, and if they had done so it would have taken much longer to restore services to our customers," according to a statement published on its website."
"The company's other priority was "the safety of our employees, and any actions we take in Egypt will be judged in light of their continuing well-being.""
"Vodafone issued a statement Friday saying that all mobile operators had been ordered to shut down servers in some areas and that it was obligated under law to comply."
