Jets flying over massive crowds.

People ignoring the curfew.

Egypt speaks with louder and louder voices.

Scene from Tahrir Square in Cairo this afternoon.

1. Simplistic analysis
The egyptian government interrupted the internet service in order to make it difficult for the people to coordinate protests. The people felt confused at first, but since they are probable internet addicts, they found with nothing to do all day long. What did they do? They came out of their homes to see the protests or joining them. Now the crowd is larger than before. It was not a good decision to shout down the internet.
