It is under the Mediterranean Sea and rumored to have been cut by a boat anchor.

Most people don't realized we rely on undersea cables for vital communications.

The impact we could see is the impact on India-based tech support for high tech gear.

Just think, there was once a cable from the US to Europe for teletype messages. Just one terminal to another.

The last time they cut one of these in the Middle East it too 45 days to repair.

I imagine this could impact communications for our troops being able to call home and some internet service.

The military has their own satellites for vital comm but they use commercial in many areas to augment and use for unclassified communications.

Technically India is not the Middle East so that would not hurt your Tech Support if you wipe out the Middle East... Big Grin

Love those Indian tech reps. While working with one, he said, "type in B as in David".!
I said,"there is no B in David, don't you mean D as in David?" He said, "No,NO, B as in David".

Actually, that's probably why Bush invaded Iraq in the first place: oil. Check out Greenspan's claim in his recently released memoirs.

I'm sure oil had a lot to do with invading Iraq. We needed to take out that dictator either way.
