More productively, there are real concerns with the cable routing around India and Pakistan. Connections across Egypt have geographical constraints that are probably more significant than the political ones, but having most of the connectivity into western India going into Mumbai and not Cochin or Bangalore and only having one drop into Pakistan are risks that ought to be fixed. In large part they're a heritage of telecomms monopolies, and are theoretically fixable, but both countries are at some risk until they do something about it.
