Tunisia almost 50% offline 2008-02-13 10:13:00 The prophecy was true, one of the main submarine cables providing Tunisia
with connection (Phone and Data) over Italy is down as the maintenance of the famous cut cables going to middle east from Europe.The country is working as its half speed, a low connection is remarkably here and everybody wonder the worst, the remaining France connection is the only link to the outer world and as it happened in the middle east, things have started by a maintenance and half of cables eaten by fish.Ob of the rumors to explain the whole "accident" thing is that there was a submarine earthquake that did damage the cables, others are talking about a conspiracy trying to push the middle east back to the dark ages, while all this happens nobody can really find an answer.
Upcoming Internet outage tonight in Tunisia 2008-02-12 11:03:00 Tunisia is connected to the outer world through tow submarine connections: the major one from France and the other from Italy thus I have been acknowledged from a Tunisie Telecom(Tunisia monopolist telephone company) Insider that the internet connection would be down tonight from 10 pm to 10 am local time (+1 CST) for maintenance purposes.What the hell is going on? and even if there was such maintenance works, why we shouldn't be able to get through the other one even with limited access? in my humble opinion we would be off for a while, exactly as it happened in the middle east.Something is happen inning in the background and nobody wants to tell about it, I'll may be able to write again here. in the meanwhile hope me good luck, in Tunisia Internet

Fifth undersea cable cut near UAE, suspicions rise 2008-02-07 07:04:00 You may have noticed a number of stories recently about undersea cables getting cut around the world. Apparently the total is now up to 5, but the scariest part of this is that Iran is now offline. You can also read Schneier's comments on this coincidence.Flag Telecom, a subsidiary of Indian conglomerate Reliance ADA Group, has had two cables damaged in the span of a week -- a quandary it has never dealt with until now. As it stands, traffic from the Middle East and surrounding areas is being routed through various other cables in an attempt to remain online, but any more snips and we could be dealing with ping times eerily similar to those seen in 1993 (or much, much larger issues).Via [SlashDot]Via [Engaget]Any coming war into the gulf? internet for Petrol pressure?

Middle east cable incident: issue or sabotage? 2008-02-03 07:32:00 A third undersea cable has been cut, effectively eliminating the Internet in the Middle East. But according to CNN that cable outage does not extend to Israel, Lebanon and Iraq. Is it a coincidence that these three countries, who represent the next phase of the war on terrorism, were spared in the communications blackout that is affecting the rest of the Middle East?...The news of the multiple acts of cable sabotage
are clear proof that a hostile force is doing its best to isolate the greater Middle East region (all the way to India) from the rest of the world. With the Internet down, it will be impossible for anyone to transmit video evidence out of the visually-embargoed zoneVia [Daily scare]It seems that the recent Internet block out in the middle east is some kind of message in the Read more:issue
Tunisie Telecom introduces GPS/GSM vehicle tracking service 2008-02-01 08:20:00 As part of its new services -and may be in order stay up to date with Tunisiana- Tunisie Telecom
has unveiled a new GPS
Tracking service for enterprise customers seeking to increase efficiency, security and management of vehicle fleet despite Tunisiana Weenee, this system is about monitoring rather than Tunisiana's drivers localization and directions services.Beside that the service was widely offered by a number of companies with satellite real time tracking, I think that the service is just an other answer from Tunisie Telecom to his competitor Tunisiana to be always in the race avoiding a totally blind imitation as usual.
