The total number of internet cables feeding India and the Middle East cut is now up to 5. I guess we’d hear more about it, but we can’t, you know cuz their internet is broken.
I was originally thinking this was someones way of reducing the economic appeal of outsourcing to India, but the focus of the cuts is more Middle-Easterly. So who has the resources in the area to make all these cuts? Russia, maybe but I thought all their boats were rusty or waiting to have reactor accidents. Israel, surely they do. U.S.A. also.
So why? Perhaps an effort to isolate communication into and out of Iran?
I’ve heard this, in some accounts they are claiming up to 9 possible cuts.
Add that a recent pentagon document that declared the entire internet an “enemy front” and I don’t think we need Mr. Watson to tell us what’s going on.
