On Ship halts Internet services in India and Middle East

Extensive damage to two undersea cables, by a ship trying to anchor on the coasts has thrown Internet activity across large parts of India, Asia and the Middle East, out of gear.
As per sources, a ship trying to anchor off Egypt's Alexandria coast cut through the Indian-owned FLAG and also the SEA-ME-WE cable on Wednesday, leading to an unprecedented disruption in international connectivity.
"The repair will take another 15-20 days," Internet Service Providers Association of India president Rajesh Chharia said.
Although repair teams have been rushed to the Egyptian coast to fix the cut problem and a 'low grade' service will most likely be activated soon.
