It appears that the undersea cable cutting bogeyman has returned, this time cruelly disrupting Internet and telephone communications by severing three submarine cables between Italy and Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea. According to Interoute, the three damaged lines carry more than seventy-five percent of traffic between the Middle East, Europe and America. The cables run from Alexandria in northern Egypt to Sicily in southern Italy. "The information we have is a bit sketchy, but chances are that it will have been an anchor again," says Interoute.
