restored
BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- China Telecom said here
Sunday that its internet services, which were disrupted by the severance of
undersea cables following an earthquake off the Taiwan coast, would be back to
normal on January 15.
"Five vessels have been dispatched to repair the damaged lines," said an
official with the company on Sunday. "But heavy seas have made the repair work
very difficult."
The earthquake has left some cables trapped under the
seabed, and others are tangled up, said the official. We will have to add some
new sections of cable -- up to 400 meters -- to reconnect the lines.
China Telecom said that, after the earthquake, some
internet traffic was re-routed via landline cables connecting China and Europe
and satellite transmissions were also used. Now 70 percent of overseas internet
connections have been reestablished.
But the official said the link to North America would
not be significantly improved until the subsea cable was repaired.
