Just a friendly heads-up that everyone should help spread the word for people in Egypt (and anywhere else with blocked/censored Internet) to download and start using AnchorFree's Hotspot Shield as soon as possible. I've even started using it here in the States for maximum online security.

No ISP connectivity isn't blocked/censored internet, the ISP links are down completely. There isn't a possible way to get through something that isn't even connected. Ham radio is funnily enough a better solution.

I guess we should all figure out how to broadcast over ham radio again =)

Thank you for the clarification: I must have read too quickly, I didn't realize ISPs were down entirely at the time that I posted this. My mistake.

Is there a halal alternative to ham radio?
