A few days ago, I learned from a news broadcast on BBC that Twitter services were blocked in Egypt due to the rioting and protests which have been occurring there lately.  Ronen from BerryReview got word from someone in Egypt that the whole country’s BlackBerry services have been blocked as well. Mobinil, Vodafone, and Etisalat are three carriers confirmed in the region where BlackBerry services are no longer active as of now.  It looks like all this is pretty fresh as the blockage started at around 11am this morning.

In best hopes when the protests and riots are over, the citizens will gain BlackBerry access again in addition to Twitter.
