A third undersea cable is now severed and Iran is eating heavy packet loss (there are reports that the state is off the grid, but IUST is reachable).
This is happening far too often, but I am as incredulous as Paul Krugman on this one:
OK, this is weird.
At this point, three undersea cables providing Internet access for the Middle East have been cut in the last few days. How often does this sort of thing happen?
The relevant parties continue to blame ship anchoring, which is entirely believable modulo the three-cut-in-as-many-days part.
