Hopefully we don't see this happen multiple times in the next week or two. If so, it's something suspicious. Otherwise, likely just random chance as people harvest old copper cables or drop anchor.

Perhaps it's going to be a hell lot expensive but can't they build some kind of protection in the no so shallow waters? It's going to be better than to repair them every time. |

Maybe a "NO ANCHOR. NO DREDGE" sign would alert ships that there is something under the sea that could be damaged.� |

Re: Placement
Where you place your magazines doesn't really equate to where a submarine cable is placed. |

said by exocet_cm :Maybe a "NO ANCHOR. NO DREDGE" sign would alert ships that there is something under the sea that could be damaged.� Here on Long Island there are prominent signs at entrances to the parkways that say "No Trucks - Low Bridges". Yet trucks still drive onto the parkways and smack into the stone bridges. No signs in the water are going to make a bit of differences. Especially with all of the different languages spoken in the Mediterranean region. You would probably have to post in at least a dozen languages with the hope the ship captain's even bother reading it.

|  I hope that the cable cut affected traffic from India.
 I hope the cables serving voice traffic to India are cut frequently. Maybe it will force corporate America to move technical support call centers back to USA and give Americans some jobs. |
