I wonder too, if all these guys who specialise in Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity etc., who make site visits and point out problems with access card readers at offshore sites, even have any idea of the picture of cables that was just posted.
Every Company (and especially those who offshores) should be carrying out geo-political risk assessment's on a regular basis and ensuring that this cabling is included in the mix.
