Nationwide mobile data and broadband cut following the February 2021 coup

DRAFT — needs an editor rewrite. STATUS CAVEAT, read before publishing: no source currently in this archive (STOP — which has no Myanmar record before Aug 2021 at all — digest, or site articles) confirms when this specific nationwide cutoff was resolved. STOP's dataset gap means this event cannot be STOP-anchored like most others. status is left as "ongoing" because that is what the available sources support (last confirmed as active Feb 7 per AP; no later source in this archive says it ended) — this is NOT a claim that the Feb 6, 2021 cutoff is literally still active in 2026. An editor or a future source pass should replace this with a real resolution date. IODA's historical BGP data does not reach back this far (checked live, 2026-07: empty response for Feb 2021) and our own BGP monitoring did not exist until 2026 — per spec, this layer is omitted rather than estimated, not silently assumed absent.

Resolution note: Maintainer research (internal research notes, 2026-07) found no single dated source stating "nationwide mobile data fully restored on X." OONI's Mar 8, 2021 post states the initial total blackout (all internet, not just mobile) lasted ~30 hours and was largely lifted by Feb 7, 2021 — used here as date_end with end_date_confidence: estimated, since it is explicitly a proxy for the CLEAN, defensible anchor point, not a claim the full disruption named in this event's title ended then. Mobile data and social-media access remained heavily restricted for weeks after: an Asia Centre briefing describes mobile data still down as of Mar 31, 2021 (in what appears to be a renewed cut rather than the same continuous one — see 2021-nightly-curfew's date_end for the Mar 15, 2021 date that likely marks this renewal). Status stays unresolved, not ended, because Feb 7 only closes the initial acute blackout phase, not the full "mobile data and broadband cut" scope this event's title describes.
