FBI Investigating Series of Fiber Cuts In San Francisco Bay Area

jfruh writes: Ten times over four separate nights in the past year, telecom cables have been mysteriously cut in various locations around the San Francisco Bay Area. Now the FBI is investigating the incidents as potential sabotage. ITWorld reports: "In the past year, there were 10 instances on four separate nights when telecom cables were intentionally cut in Fremont, Walnut Creek, Alamo, Berkeley and San Jose, the agency said Monday. FBI Special Agent Greg Wuthrich said it's unclear if the incidents are unrelated or the work of a single person or group, but the FBI is keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed anything suspicious."

    More likely, one of those "stakeholders" who wants to drive the techies out of San Francisco and go back to the good old days when the street people dominated.

    Oh, I don't know. If I saw a Comcast worker actually fixing something, that would be pretty memorable.
