Nowadays I'm a man of few words, so [url=http://it.slashdot.org/it/08/02/06/1431206.shtml]here[/url]:

[quote]You may have noticed a number of stories recently about undersea cables getting cut around the world. Apparently the total is now up to 5, but the scariest part of this is that Iran is now offline. You can also read Schneier's comments on this coincidence.

Update: 02/06 17:42 GMT by Z : As a commenter notes, though the country of Iran is obviously experiencing some networking difficulties, it is not offline.[/quote]

    Someone from MIT recently posted up an interesting take on matters, explaining that the outages may not be all too atypical were it not being somehow perceived as a deliberate act by a large chunk of the media and also makes a mention of the somewhat high rate at which cables do actually take damage *without* exceptional amounts of coverage.
