The full service restoration of the submarine cables damaged during the Boxing Day Earthquake is expected to be completed by the end of February 2007. This is due to delays in repair caused by bad weather.
The quake which hit Taiwan badly damaged vital submarine telecom cables connecting several Asian countries. Immediate results of the quake included the delays in receiving emails, difficulties in IDD connections, unreliable international SMS and slow internet connections.
At this point, most telecom services are reported to have been restored but the affected countries still await the completion of the repairs.
