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

[Marshall Eubanks <tme () multicasttech com>]

Dear Sean;

Do you know how Syria, Jordan and Lebanon get their connectivity ?  
They have dropped off the map today for us. (Or maybe yesterday - I  
wasn't able to pay any attention to this yesterday.)

Our Egyptian audience remains very low, while Iran still seems to be  
unaffected.

Regards
Marshall
