Hong Kong: Internet Links Normalized 50 Days After Quake
A dpa German Press Agency article, via The Raw Story, reports that:
Internet connections were restored to normal in Hong Kong Wednesday, 50 days after an undersea earthquake off Taiwan severely damaged cables to the former British colony. Six out of seven submarine cables coming in and out of Hong Kong were snapped by the December 26 earthquake, causing severe disruption to e-mail and internet connections.More here.
Services were gradually improved but it took until Wednesday [14 February 2007] for Hong Kong's Telecommunications Authority to announce that the repairs to the cables were complete.
