Yes folks, fresh from the "you wont believe this" dept, yet another arabian area cable seems to have become damaged.
http://www.arabianbusiness.com/510132-internet-problems-continue-with-fourth-cable-break?ln=enInternet services in Qatar have been seriously disrupted because of damage to an undersea telecoms cable linking the Gulf state to the UAE, the fourth such incident in less than a week.
The cause of damage is not yet known, but ArabianBusiness.com has been told unofficially the problem is related to the power system and not the result of a ship's anchor cutting the cable, as is thought to be the case in the other three incidents.
it is expected to take at least "a few days" to fix, according to one person with knowledge of the situation.
I think my conspiracy theory is looking more healthy as the days go on, I wonder if its possible while the cables are out of service to place monitoring devices further along from the break without anyone looking too hard at the rest of the cable, strange things happen at sea I,m told
This all reminds me of the tales of the "glomar explorer", I,m sure some of you know the ships history.
