As global economy depends on international cables it should treated at
world's critical infrastructure (connecting the world) specially when
you have countries that rely on undersea cables for over 95 percent of
its international voice and data traffic only 7 percent of which could
be carried via satellite in the event of cable disruption.

We all know how this could impact businesses, government and the general
public.

I guess what I'm trying to say is there should be collective interest
(cooperation between all stakeholders) in making sure the path is well
balanced and diversed.

Apparently Etisalat (UAE's) the local submarine cable?s local operator
is reporting the problem occurred when seawater penetrated the
insulation and caused a short-circuit. Not sure the extent of this
disruption.

In the meanwhile traffic is being rerouted to accommodate country's demand.

The operator did not say when normal internet service might resume.
