HONG KONG, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) -- Telecommunication
operators and Internet users need to wait longer to get normal access as the
authority said Tuesday the damage on undersea cables caused by earthquake last
month is more serious than previous estimated.
According to the latest estimation Tuesday by the
Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) of Hong Kong, the quake damage
on cables is more serious than the preliminary survey and therefore the repair
work on one of the major cables will need about two weeks instead of the
previous estimation of one week.
It said the Taiwan earthquake on Dec. 26 caused damage
on about 300 kilometers seabed, breaking six undersea cables from Hong
Kong to Europe and North America that threatened the telecommunication network
to paralyze.
The authority said repair teams on the spot are
trying to resume the work of the cable system and at the same time to enlarge
the load of the only cable survived the earthquake to ease the demand of
telecommunication.
