Well, we all hope this isn’t part of something very ugly about to happen. But I don’t like the sound of it:
A third undersea Internet cable has been damaged in the Middle East [my emphasis], adding to the disruption in online services after two other lines were cut earlier this week, the cable operating firm said. The Falcon cable was cut 56 kilometres (35 miles) from Dubai, between Oman and the United Arab Emirates, according to its owner, FLAG Telecom, which is part of India’s Reliance Communications.
This is supposedly due to large ships dragging their anchors in a storm. Certainly possible.
