| Abstract: |
The article focuses on a fire that occurred in a central telecommunications exchange in Cairo, which disrupted mobile phone and internet services in Egypt and caused brief flight delays. The National Telecom Regulatory Authority reported a "temporary" outage affecting three telecom operators, while Communications Minister Amr Talaat stated that most vital services were operating normally in most areas. Despite this, users experienced unstable services, with a London-based internet watchdog noting a significant reduction in national connectivity. The fire, likely caused by an electrical short circuit, injured 14 people, and operations at Cairo International Airport returned to normal after limited delays. [Extracted from the article] |
