5th undersea cable cut!

[Technomage-hawke]

it looks at though the arab world is finally starting to pay for their support 
of "home grown terrorism".

they have a contingent of the population that not only doesn't like outside 
influences on their culture, but views the internet (and what its carried on) 
and the biggest purveyor of that influence. so... they are cutting themselves 
off, and in the process, hurting their local economies and quality of life 
(like any zealot cares about that).

This is the lesson of Nihilism that is being learned the hard way in the 
middle east. Perhaps them cutting themselves off is a good thing. 

in any case, it shouldn't be all that hard to reroute around the problem area. 
There is, after all, a huge surplus of "dark" cable that can be lit up for 
situations such as this.
