Redundancy saves Indian BPOs

The damaged undersea cables in the Mediterranean had little impact on the booming information technology industry in India, industry experts told DNA Money. Two cables got damaged Wednesday by the anchor of a ship off the Alexandria cost in Egypt. It has severely impacted internet traffic in West Asia and countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Since India has multiple cables landing on its shores, it has been able to minimize the impact.



Rajesh Chharia, president of Internet Service Providers Association of India (ISPAI) explained that half the 20 gigabits of data that flow through FLAG cabling system - one of the damaged cables - is down.
