If someone sabotages a rail to stop a train and the derailment takes out the fiber that is buried in the right-of-way, is that unintentional sabotage? At least of the fiber?
That's not sabotage at all. As it relates to the fiber, its not "deliberately and maliciously destroying [fiber]"... unless the goal was to cause a derailment which hurt the train operator both from the operation of the train and subsequent revenues they might lose from fiber operations along the same right-of-way -- then *that* would be sabotage. In the case you outlined above, barring other motivations, the fiber would be "collateral damage". That said, Cogent's page says nothing about sabotage (status.cogentco.com) and I can't find the reference on teliasonera's page.... Link please? DJ
