I was planning on doing a post about the mystery of the damaged undersea telecom cables, summarising the various conspiracy theories and weighing in with my own views. But GigaOM has beaten me to it (irritatingly, something’s wrong with the permalink structure over there and I can’t link to it, but as of right now the URL is theoretically http://gigaom.com/2008/02/06/ choose-your-own-conspiracy-undersea-cable-edition/). At any rate, fascinating stuff and I really have no idea what the real explanation is - there seems to be remarkably little information out there about how unlikely or unusual such an occurrence is, and the conspiracy theories, though entertaining, all have major flaws in their credibility. The kraken is starting to look like a pretty good alternative…
