As a complete aside, it seems that a fourth communications cable has been cut, further degrading access to and from the Middle East. And the story linked to reckons it ain’t about ships’ anchors. Something’s up, it seems.

Thanks Stil, interesting story.

Lead me to this blog from Renesys, with lots of interesting commentary.

@Crispin: Yes, since posting have had others point to Renesys as a good source. Also just saw someone say that the fourth cable is out of service because of a “fault”, not a “cut”. Hat-tip to Martin Barry.
