Vague News: Fact or Fiction: Fighting a Cyber War Under the Water
Sometimes even the major main stream news outlets fail to investigate and report stories that foretell future events. Whether this is an oversight or part of a conspiratorial cover up by the government in order to maintain a sense of normalcy, the truth still has to be told. The Cyberculture News files this Report: Over 80% Internet services recover in Egypt.
The Egyptian authorities said Internet services have restored more than 80 percent on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2008, two days after several undersea cables in the Mediterranean Sea were cut.According to France Telecom, 3 major underwater cables were cut: “Sea Me We 4”, “Sea Me We3”, and FLAG on Friday Dec. 19th, 2008. The causes of the cut, which is located in the Mediterranean between Sicily and Tunisia, on sections linking Sicily to Egypt, remain unclear.
An appraisal gave an estimate of the following impact on the voice traffic (in percentage of out of service capacity):
