LATEST NEWS: TAIWAN EARTHQUAKE - 4th March 2010 Thursday 4 March: The ICPC is of a 6.4 magnitude earthquake that has occurred 70km from Kaohsiung City in Southern Taiwan on 4 March and that this is likely to be the cause of multiple cable failures in the area. The ICPC does not have any operational responsibility for the international submarine cable network, therefore its officers do not have any knowledge of the cause of this problem or what is being done to rectify it. The primary purpose of the ICPC is to help its members to improve the security of their cables by providing a private forum in which relevant technical, legal and environmental information can be exchanged. In the aftermath of multiple cable failures, the ICPC will routinely consult its members after repair operations have been completed to see what lessons can be learned. Sometimes this exercise results in a Press Release from the ICPC, as happened following the Hengchun Earthquake on 26 December 2006. The Press Release on the Hengchun Earthquake can be found here Background information on submarine cables can be found here. The About Submarine Telecommunications Cables presentation is particularly recommended. Frequently Asked Questions can be found here. |
