probably the .EG parts of that PIP are provided on a partner network
still ... I don't think they have build of their own gear into the
country, and there's a high likelihood that if state-security sees
'forbidden' traffic on those links they'll request traffic shutdown on
that network as well.
If you operate a network in the affected country I'm sure you'll have
to comply with LEA demands...
