Interesting turn of events , sovereignty at play :-).
The service providers were basically asked to shut down or loose their licenses. A couple days ago the companies argued that protests were taking place in even a bigger way without the internet and even phones. Incidentally even public transport across the country was shut down. I think all is back today after shameful 'Mungiki' type violence.
