One of the efforts from Egypt government to silence protesters, Egypt took a step that's rare even among authoritarian governments: It cut off the Internet across the entire country.
The nation's four main Internet providers all went dark, and cell phone service was suspended in some areas. But the drastic move did not stop demonstrators Friday, and it could backfire by fueling anger and chaos in the streets of Cairo and beyond.
Until now, Egyptians have had nearly open access to the Web.
