LATEST NEWS Eastern Mediterranean Cable Faults - January 2008: The two submarine cable faults in the Eastern Mediterranean which detrimentally effected Internet Communications in the Middle East and India during January were both repaired in the early February and Internet Communications in the region were quickly restored to normal. ICPC Ltd does not have any operational responsibility for the international submarine cable network, therefore its officers are unable to comment upon the cause of this problem or the details of any repair. The primary purpose of ICPC Ltd is to help its members to improve the security of their cables by providing a private forum in which relevant technical, legal and environmental information can be exchanged. In the aftermath of multiple cable failures, ICPC Ltd will routinely consult its members after repair operations have been completed to see what lessons can be learned. Sometimes this exercise results in a Press Release from ICPC Ltd, as happened following the Hengchun Earthquake on 26 December 2006. The Press Release on the Hengchun Earthquake can be found here Background information on submarine cables can be found here. The About Submarine Telecommunications Cables presentation is particularly recommended. Frequently Asked Questions can be found here. |
