Pro- and anti-Mubarak groups are now fighting on the streets in Cairo.

Last thing I heard was on the Spanish radio, this morning (6:30 AM for me, +1 GMT).
Apparently, Mubarak will not give up. :-/
Any other news?

Journalists being attacked.
Tanks moving in.

Canada's going to get usage based billing for internet if the government doesn't step in. We're going to lose the unlimited option and the cap will be 25gb per month or something equally unholy

Egyptians united.

Egypt seems to have really erupted now. Go protesters, win!
But like I said, I'm scared of who will come to power now.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

And for the possibility that the army might be worse:

wrote:The institution hasn’t fought in a war since 1973, instead building bridges, hospitals and, since Jan. 28, ensuring the security of protesters in central Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

Much different than say Iran.

Bell's still going for ubb, but they postponed the implementation for 60 days. Not that it matters personally to me since I don't *think* I'd go over the cap, but people who actually need to download for work have been protesting and lobbying and petitioning so hard and it's so ineffectual.

Mubarak, like all dictators, kept exaggerating the chaos that might possibly hit his country if someone else were to take power in his stead. It was the army, the Muslim Brotherhood, the other religious extremist groups. Like we would ever know what is likely to happen without him out of power? Good riddance.

I think Egypt would go democratic. The army, like you say, seems better than in most non-democratic countries.
