Have they asked No-Such-Agency? No-Such-Agency typically taps communication lines by "back-hoe accident" of some sort on the path they are interested in tapping. That way they can install a tap "over yonder" while the victim telecom is attempting to repair the original damage. I guess this time is taking longer than expected so they FBI has been recruited to prevent the victim from completing repairs to quickly. Then again, maybe my tinfoil hat is too tight.

This appears to be part of a larger act of intentional sabotage:
"We have just been advised that crews have been removed from the area while law enforcement investigates the damage, which was caused by vandalism. Three enclosures were damaged impacting three different carriers. There is no time given for when they will be allowed to begin work again, subsequently, there is still no ETR. "
