Obviously for the effected, the effects are the same. |8^)
However, I'm interested in knowing about the level of fine control that
the Egyptian government may have exercised. I think the subtle
implications on the relationships between operators and governments bear
some fine distinction in such a case.
Also I think there will eventually be different consequences between an
indiscriminate mass disconnect of all telecom and network services and a
selective one where some of the infrastructure is left intact but under
tighter control... especially if internal reach is still selectively
available while external reach has been disabled.
