A third undersea cable has been cut after breaks near Egypt earlier this week disrupted internet access in parts of the Middle East and Asia, Indian-owned cable network operator FLAG Telecom said.
FLAG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of India's number two mobile operator Reliance Communications, said in a statement on its website its FALCON cable had been reported cut 56 kilometres from Dubai on a segment between the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
I find this very curious.
Very curios, indeed.
