An elderly Georgian woman was scavenging for
copper to sell as scrap when she accidentally sliced through an underground cable and cut off internet services to all of neighboring Armenia, That's right.....
the whole friggin country of Armenia!!
The woman, 75, had been digging for the metal not far from the capital Tbilisi when her spade damaged the fiber-optic cable on March 28.
As Georgia provides 90% of Armenia's internet, the woman's unwitting sabotage had catastrophic consequences. Now, aren't you glad you aren't a blogger from Armenia?
Web users in the nation of 3.2 million people were left
drinking Russian vodka twiddling their thumbs for up to five hours as the country's main internet providers - ArmenTel, FiberNet Communication and GNC-Alfa – were prevented from supplying their normal service. Television pictures showed reporters at a news agency in the capital Yerevan staring glumly at blank screens.
So People......contact the people in the know before your dig!
This is a UNIVERSAL number to call except in the countries of Georgia and Armenia.
