Two days from Alexandria to the Gulf? Pull the other one. And you can't go through the Suez Canal submerged. On Mon, Feb 4, 2008 at 2:25 PM, Frank Coluccio <frank@dticonsulting.com> wrote:

Another paranoid suggestion I have seen is that the cuts were intended to force traffic rerouting so that the traffic might pass through one or more 'compromised' nodes for inspection. No mention of little green people yet.

It's obviously the KGB, which wants the world to be dependent on Russia for oil .... All Russians please report to their nearest FBI office for execution and subsequent interrogation ...

:-) On a more serious note... who benefits from repairing of these lines? -Jim P.
Generally speaking, it is the undersea cable maintence folks who benefit since they do the repairs. Alcatel, Global Marine, Tyco Submarine, to name a few. It is common practice to use the same company that laid the cable, but it is not an obligation. Contracts are structured as an annual charge with a per incident fee. Right now these charges are going up as fuel costs rise. Regards, Roderick S. Beck Director of European Sales Hibernia Atlantic 1, Passage du Chantier, 75012 Paris http://www.hiberniaatlantic.com
