Vodafone's role in the Egyptian revolution

VODAFONE REVOLUTION: Shareholders take Vodafone to task over network shutdowns during the Egyptian revolution. Money quote: "In addition to prolonging the misery and bloodshed of the Egyptian revolution, Vodafone’s network shutdown also resulted in the death of Egyptians who couldn’t use their phones to call ambulances during medical emergencies. Not to mention all the money the shareholders lost when millions of Egyptians lost their phone service." Not sure of my views on this; not enough information. Worth a quick look, though.
