Internet Service Hit as Submarine Cable Damaged

DUBAI — Internet and telephone services that were disrupted on Friday in the UAE and other Middle Eastern countries are expected to be restored today, Egypt’s state news agency MENA said.

UAE’s telecommunications provider Etisalat, however, did not respond when asked about the restoration of services which were disrupted by submarine cable failures in the Mediterranean Sea — the second undersea cable cut incident this year. According to sources at the Mumbai-based Reliance Globalcom Ltd., the company that runs the service, three cables linking South East Asia, the Middle East and Europe are affected for reasons yet to be assessed.

“The failures stopped the flow of data of various kinds between Europe and the Middle East, and there is no timeframe as to when the communications will be restored,” a spokesman of the company was quoted by Bloomberg as saying.
