Okay ~~2, no 3,~~ 4 undersea cables cut is still a coincidence

2008-02-06

Moved to Wednesday for further discussion and snark. AoS.

For the ~~second, third,~~ fourth time in a week, an undersea communications cable has apparently been cut (or "failed due to a power outage," as some sources suggest), and while no official reports of subversion have surfaced just yet, things are beginning to get suspicious.
no, reeeaallllyy?
Flag Telecom, a subsidiary of Indian conglomerate Reliance ADA Group, has had two cables damaged in the span of a week -- a quandary it has never dealt with until now. As it stands, traffic from the Middle East and surrounding areas is being routed through various other cables in an attempt to remain online, but any more snips and we could be dealing with ping times eerily similar to those seen in 1993 (or much, much larger issues).
thank you, HDMD
