Official Ecuadorian statement above.

Speculation on the net is US Dem Kerry etcetera applied pressure while
visiting London and elsewhere. Assange is effective Ecuador citizen,
not sovereign Ecuador state employee, thus E is censoring its citizens
independant journalism (though presumably only from formerly using
state resources to do so). Wifi / cellular / broadband subscription is
surely available or provided in area (by supporters or party vans).
WL is presumably operationally insulated.
