Not exactly deals this time, but due to the frequent questions, I’ll list sources that appear to be continuously updating the state of international connectivity of Egyptian Internet providers.
- Renesys blog: Blog entry at Renesys that is being continuously updated. The link goes directly to the latest update. They discuss mainly the 4 major providers – Telecom Egypt (AS8452), Link Egypt (AS24863), Etisalat Misr (AS32992) and Internet Egypt (AS5536).
- Huffington Post: Another set of updates (scroll down the article). Less technically oriented, with field reports from locals and journalists.
- ISOC Newsletter: General information on background of the situation. Short paragraph with current updates on the top of the page.
- BGPMon Analysis: Independent BGP monitoring body provides a good summary of the events. You will find there complete overview of the 7 major ASes in Egypt plus a list of the remaining reachable routes. Might be too technical for general public.

- ICANN blogpost: ICANN blogpost on the related DNS issue. Since ccTLD DNS servers are located in Egypt, they cannot be reached due to the nonexistent routes.
