The government of Egypt already knew what could affect the government the most. The revolution occurred in Egypt recently. And the government acted in response of the revolution; the government of Egypt turned the internet "off."
Thesedays, everything is connected with internet. Since internet is densely wired globally, blocking the internet is impossible. However, the Mubarak government successfully blocked the internet for several days, so that they could at least make the revolution a bit calmer. Still, they failed to revive the Mubarak government.
The whole world is in shock, because the Mubarak government had proved that they could interfere the global internet.
Egyptian engineers assumes that the Mubarak government had exploited some vulnerabilities in the national infrastructure. Through these vulnerabilities, it seems the Mubarak government had gained power to control the internet for this kind of purposes.
