Re: 2 undersea cables cut

[Ryan Bagley via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

Below article outlines cases of sabotage (page 81) in 2007 in Bangladesh,
2010 in the Philippines, and attempted sabotage in 2013 in Egypt. I'm not
sure Nord Stream qualifies since the cable itself wasn't directly targeted.
Arguing about if it was sabotage or not isn't really helpful until
authorities give a statement. But in either case it would be good for
nations to increase focus on securing submarine cable infrastructure, in
whatever capacity that might take. Good on the FCC for finally reviewing
that?
