In a move that parents of teenagers everywhere can sympthasize with, yet another undersea cable has been cut in effort to get people in the Middle East to stop those late-night phone calls and chat sessions (or better yet, browsing for knock-off auctions on Souq.com). So if you're only reading our blog because everything else you normally read is offline, here's why: a fifth undersea cable has now been reported as cut, responsible for yet another few other million people off Al Gore's Internets. Things were already looking awfully suspicious when a fourth undersea cable in the Mediterranean was cut yesterday, and while nothing about a fifth cable being cut necessarily means some sort of sabotage is to blame, it's not exactly reassuring.

That must be what Shakespeare meant about the "unkindest cut of all". So are you ready now to launch your satellite network?
