do you think that undersea internet cables were cut on purpose ?

Question

undersea cables carrying Internet traffic were cut off two days ago, and it's n't the first time, so do you think it was cut off on purpose? and why ?

Answer 1

Buy me a brain: How come 6 cables apart 120km from each others were cut by luck,,, who cuts them? search for the benefits......

-------------

Ok , Possibilities< I hope you will like my answer:



1) Money: Time ago, as coca cola was new in Egypt again,

they found competition from Pepsi cola,, they first built a factory of glass bottles, then collect all Pepsi cola empty bottles, and just crashed them and recycle them.. suddenly Pepsi could not find their bottles to refill them, could not manufacture new bottles in time,,, they lost the season, and they also gain a big part of the market share,,,, so Search for a competitor for the Italian company which owns the cables



2)Some software companies on purpose release PC virus, and then release anti virus programs...search for a repairers ,, especially business is down and there is economic disaster

3) Politics: Can be an introduction for a war or war trail

4)Can be also someone who wants to limit / cut, the relation between the south and the north for racism reasons, from any side....

------------

hahaha , I just read that, it is very close to what I said,, but it is very popular in business life,,, and I saw similar cases with , lots of products , it is amazing what people do to make money especially now;;;

( imagine how many international calls were made in those days, because the lost of the internet??? Search for benifits...lol

Answer 2

sorry guys its conspiracy theory which we use to cover all our sins

it can't be for some reasons :

1- They know exactly that we are very lazy and we move only after the disaster not before , if they do this in purpose they will never do it as a trial it will come on the so called to be war ... then we will find our self with no internet , if we received gradually our lazy brains will start thinking and may be in 10 to 20 years will arrange some contingency planning to avoid this . ( like what happened with Mr. Sawiras who started building his own sea fiber cable company )



2- Talking about our cousins they are ok cause they have always alternatives as they work using something we don know it calls planning , no place for bribes or corruption in national security issues like that issue , and thus they know how vital is this and work in many backup lines



3- if the conspiracy theory is ok so its better they will leave it running and make sure to protect it for us from being damaged cause they know that 85% of us use internet either for silly chatting , or looking for some terms which is useless ( most of you know what i mean ) for any developing community like what google statistics proofed about the most used terms in searching for google in the Arabic Area



4- Banning us from any internet connection all over the world is technically very much easier than cutting a cable , it;s just some commands in some points in that companies to totally isolate us from all the connection !



5- i hate to call it ظن planning is not ظن and in this cases it should clear ideas and clear understanding for our main resources , and communication is on of the main resources for any living creature ( never the less Country national security )



and many many other things !

Answer 3

Answer 4

No, it's not on purpose. We should use satellite internet connection now, we already have 2 or more sats orbiting the globe. They will provide more speed and more reliable connectivity.



For Saudi hot girl: I usually don't mind your comments, but it's you who should get a life, I'm even buying you one, so you wouldn't troll on every single topic saying the same thing over and over. Don't you have anything better to do?



For the record these cable don't just cut Egypt connection, they cut the mid east, south Asia so all business transactions are cut not just from us. The disruption also affected countries as far away as Singapore, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, but most reported services returning to normal on Saturday.



Satellite is not limited, on the contrary it's faster a lot faster than dial up or dsl check this: http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/satellite-internet-connection-the-pros-and-cons/



Edit: Also Just found out that there was a seismic activity near Malta and Sicily if anyone is concerned.
