sheaman42 discovered 6 months ago- For the fourth time in a week, an undersea communications cable in the Mediterranean Sea has apparently been cut, and while no official reports of subversion have surfaced just yet, things are beginning to get suspicious. 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).

- This is the fourth separate time delayed incident where international cables have been cut or damaged ... coincidence, I think not -- sounds more like cutting off the lines of communication as a precursor to an attack.

- Here is a recent interview with a senior analyst of a telecommunications firm giving his thoughts. http://www.networkperformancedaily.com/2008/02/hotter_under_the_water_a_look _1.html

- I am suspicious about middle east censorship. I suspect the primary murderer in the region :- the US government.

- It's not just a coincidence anymore... Ok, I have no idea why the coin, which I tried for ages to get to show up in the blogs *below,* has decided to be part of _this_ post, but I'm going with it. Must be the moon.
