Interesting all the same. Article teaser snippet: "about four kilometre-length of NITEL's high capacity fibre optic cables were destroyed around Carter Bridge in Lagos when some vandals opened a cable duct, poured inflammable liquid like petrol in the duct and set the cables ablaze. The cables burnt over the night into the early hours of the next day before the site was located by NITEL officials." n3td3v news group link (members only): http://groups.google.com/group/n3td3v/browse_thread/thread/2632bf0a282c7db5 direct link to article (public access): http://allafrica.com/stories/200801310420.html _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
