Yeah this has has already been in nationwide news shows, but a NANOG post just pointed me to

http://www.renesys.com/blog/2008/01/mediterranean_cable_break.shtml

which is a very nice report on the impact that the severage of those cables had. I wonder if Renesys has that kind of information constantly available to them, sounds like fun.

… when you notice that the Tele in the Underground is now playing the Electronic Sports League’s (ESL) eSPORT News instead of the usual Hollywood Entertainment Crap.

I’m still undecided whether this is a change for the worse or better though. ;)
