Another submarine telecom cable in the Middle East has been severed, adding to global net problems caused by breaks in two lines under the Mediterranean two days earlier. The mundane explanation of "anchors" has been ruled out now. This is now looking intentional.
It could merely be three aligned random problems and not evidence of a conspiracy, yet the close timing is suspicious... but of what? The Falcon cable is off Dubai, and owned by the Indian firm Reliance, which also owned one of the other cables. Reliance maybe a takeover target, and the English company Vodaphone has been extraordinarily aggressive in expansion in International Telecom. Reliance and Vodaphone have been involved in 'ungentlemanly' conduct prior to this, involving acquisitions. Competitors have accused Vodaphone of dirty tricks, and that is not unusual for such a fast-paced outfit. If this recent cable-cutting, which will cost millions to repair, is a conspiracy for commercial gain of some kind, and not random ... then it looks like Reliance is the target. Or is this more likely a tactic which one would expect at higher levels ? ... if, say one nation in the region felt threatened. I suspect that many of her neighbors would like to blame Israel and Mossad for this, or else blame the USA, as perhaps a preliminary act before invading Iran, but a quick search of the Net turns up zero evidence for any of that.
