RE: Fourth cable damaged in Middle Eest (Qatar to UAE)

["Rod Beck" <Rod.Beck () hiberniaatlantic com>]

Generally speaking, it is the undersea cable maintence folks who benefit since they do the repairs. Alcatel, Global 
Marine, Tyco Submarine, to name a few. It is common practice to use the same company that laid the cable, but it is not 
an obligation. 

Contracts are structured as an annual charge with a per incident fee. 

Right now these charges are going up as fuel costs rise.
