@Bernard, imo, Telecomunication Sector is trying to downplay the outage as an "an act of god" without acting responsibly knowing fully well that such an outcome would have happened in cable cuts. There is a strong case for it not being "an outage beyond our control" simply because the nature of telecommunications sector demands redundancies. This is NOT a business choice to made by the business owners in the sector, it is the requirements of doing business in the Telecommunications Sector.
