Apparently, India lost most of it's access to the Internet. I wonder how much all of those call centers handled business? Story HERE

I read that in the paper today. It said that a lot of our tech support calls didn't get answered...

Gee, must have caused a big decrease in telemarketing calls too. That would explain why all of a sudden I could understand the ones I got.

I wonder if it was accidental or intentional

The press has put forth the idea of a ship dragging anchor. This would only be possible near shore and of course the master not having or being able to read his charts for no anchorage areas. Even then, the port/harbor master would direct all anchorages. As for dragging anchor, no master would intentionally hazard his vessel by having too little scope of chain.

NOW the press is claiming ships were not the cause. click the link below for the story: Ships did not cut internet cable quote by The Press Association form the article linked above: No ships were present when two marine cables carrying much of the Middle East's internet traffic were severed, Egypt's Ministry of Communications has said, contrary to earlier speculation about the causes of the cut.
The ministry had originally stated that a ship dropping its anchor on the two key cables was most likely responsible for Wednesday's cut in service that robbed Egypt, Saudi Arabia and India of most of their internet connections.

Looks like it was an act of God. Good to know he's looking out for us.
