"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."

The others were probably damaged in the earthquake...and it's probably just a conincidencea that this one experienced a power failure.

As for the forth one being caused by a power outage, unless I was there myself I wouldnt believe it.

Even if there was an earthquake, the sea bed would have had to drop a large amount and fast for the cable to snap.

But hey if your happy to believe this isn't either some government, US or Israel, or some way for some criminal group to extort money, then great.]]>Feb 5th 2008 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/Feb 5th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/

Modern phone switching isn't that simple. POTS phone companies lease data service on fiber lines, or in some cases they're owned by the same companies. So voice data ends up carried on the same physical cables as IP data.

I'd love to hear how international voice service has been affected, but there hasn't been much discussion on the issue.]]>Feb 5th 2008 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/Feb 5th 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/Feb 5th 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/Feb 5th 2008 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/Feb 5th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/Feb 5th 2008 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/fourth-undersea-cable-cut-near-uae-suspicions-rise/http://www.eff.org/nsa
