BlackBerrys are working again in Cairo, after two days of disconnection by the Egyptian government. In a live report last night (2:29 a.m. Cairo time) NBC correspondent Richard Engel held his BlackBerry up to the camera and said that service had been restored.
Its unclear whether BlackBerry service has been restored to the rest of the country, or if its still functioning now, but Engel said of the restoration of BlackBerry service and its effect on the widespread unrest in Egypt, I dont think thats going to fundamentally change the equation, but it is showing responsiveness.
Engel said while BlackBerry service had been restored, ! he added , I havent had a chance to check the Internet, but I assume thats back on, too.
Meanwhile, the crisis is now into its fifth day.
