[kictanet] Cable issues

[kai wulff]

Sabotage and Vandalism look very similar .. Unless we ask the people doing
it we would not know the motives.

 

The fault on Monday was caused by contractors of another operator who was
not following procedures and who thought that by virtue of working for a
partly state owned company he will be allowed to do what he wants (happens
very often, treatment of Operators is still not equal).

 

Today was clearly a fault caused by someone who ON PURPOSE cut the cable.

 

Did the person want to steal a cable and stopped when seeing it was not
metal or was he there to sabotage the network - I would not know.

Betreff: [kictanet] Cable issues

 

 

In the last few weeks there has been an outcry over increasing in disruption
of networks with some of the affected firms pointing to industrial sabotage.

Safaricom was the first this week to claim "acts of sabotage" on the
disruption of its network. The Orange the next day arrested some cable
vandals and attributed it to suspected sabotage.

This Friday (today) Seacom fibre cable went offline for about four hours,
they said this was due to cuts on KDN fibre around Voi. 

Is this 'sabotage' real or imagined?
