No Internet in Syria?

In Aleppo, Syria, mysterious texts are being sent out to numerous people in the area. They do not know who is sending them, or what is. One of these texts, translated from Arabic, was "Game Over." The government believe that the people with pre-paid phones who did not receive this text, many of those who are Opposition Fighters, were told to surrender their weapons. "Those on prepaid phones -- including many opposition fighters and activists, who tend to throw their devices away after several uses to avoid detection -- did not receive the text, or subsequent messages, signed by the Syrian Arab Army, telling them to surrender their weapons." -Karen Leigh of CNN Tech. Much of the government knows that opposition fighters communicate through the use of satellites phones. The government is now in the decision to shut down satellite activity and usage to Syria. This could be a very similar event to what happened in Egypt in 2011. The focal point that the investigating is Aleppo. Service was shut down for 10 days, until it was restored September 20th. They are still investigating where these threats are coming from and why exactly they are being sent.
