Kill switch thrown on Internet in Syria

Global Internet monitoring firm Renesys Corp. reports major outage in Syria. All 84 of Syria’s IP address blocks have become unreachable, effectively removing the country from the Internet. Google’s Transparency Report notes that all of its services, including Gmail, Google Search and Google Maps, are inaccessible. The Syrian Minister of Information blamed the outages on terrorist attacks, and said that Internet services will be restored. Similar blackouts have also occurred in Middle eastern countries Egypt, Iran and Egypt. Zeus Kerravala, an analyst with ZK Research, said a government- caused Internet blackout just adds to the unrest.”]
