Two-Thirds of Syrian Internet Networks Shut Down, Renesys Says

About two-thirds of Syria’s Internet networks became unreachable early this morning, security firm Renesys said on its website today.

Within half an hour, the routes to 40 of 59 networks were withdrawn from the global routing table, Renesys said. The country’s Web traffic depends on domestic operator Syriatel Mobile Telecom SA, the company said.
