Tunisia is connected to the outer world through tow submarine connections: the major one from France and the other from Italy thus I have been acknowledged from a Tunisie Telecom(Tunisia monopolist telephone company) Insider that the internet connection would be down tonight from 10 pm to 10 am local time (+1 CST) for maintenance purposes.

What the hell is going on? and even if there was such maintenance works, why we shouldn't be able to get through the other one even with limited access? in my humble opinion we would be off for a while, exactly as it happened in the middle east.

Something is happen inning in the background and nobody wants to tell about it, I'll may be able to write again here. in the meanwhile hope me good luck, in Tunisia Internet is no more an alternative playground for kids, it's about 90% business communications gateway.

Even most of the wireless connections that goes through Wimax and Satellite will be affected as the providers such as Divona contract the Inetrbet service from a cable Partner (Planet), those few lucky companies who have dedicated up link and down link will be the only one getting to the outer world.
