<P align=justify><FONT color=#993333><B>3. Taiwan quake cripples
Thai Internet</FONT><BR>Internet slowdown to be a pain for at least
three weeks</B><BR><B>BANGKOK:</B> -- Telecommunications across Asia
have been severely disrupted because of damage to undersea cables
caused by Tuesday's earthquake near Taiwan.<BR><BR>Banks and
businesses in Taiwan, South Korea, China and Japan reported
telephone and internet problems. In Thailand, Internet access slowed
to a crawl, with up to 90 per cent of e-mail and web access
impossible. There was no word from CAT Telecom, the government
monopoly which supplies all Internet service to
Thailand.<BR><BR>Taiwan's largest telephone company, Chunghwa
Telecom Co, said damage to an undersea cable had disrupted 98% of
Taiwan's communications with Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong
Kong. Repairs could take three weeks, Vice-General Manager Lin
Jen-hung said, but quality would improve
daily.<BR><BR>Telecommunications companies in Hong Kong, Japan and
China also reported problems. China's biggest telecoms provider,
China Telecommunications Group, said that communications cables to
the US and to Europe had been damaged. "Internet connections have
been seriously affected, and phone links and dedicated business
lines have also been affected to some degree," it
said.<BR><BR>Repairing the cables harmed by Tuesday's 6.7-magnitude
quake could take three weeks but "quality will improve day by day,"
said Lin Jen-hung, vice general manager of Chunghwa Telecom Co.,
Taiwan's largest phone company. The company said damage to a cable
off Taiwan's southern coast has interrupted 98 percent of Taiwan's
communications capacity with Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong
Kong.<BR><BR>The damaged lines knocked out Internet service for some
Hong Kong customers, who were unable to access Web sites in parts of
Asia and the U.S. Hong Kong telephone company PCCW Ltd., which also
provides Internet service, said several undersea data cables were
damaged in the quake.<BR><BR>"Data traffic to Taiwan, Korea, Japan
and the United States are affected," PCCW said in a statement. The
company also warned customers that they may experience congestion
for several days on the Internet because of an upsurge in use as
people surf the Web for more information about the
quake.<BR><BR>Financial traders in Hong Kong - one of Asia's biggest
business capitals - complained they lost their connection to
Bloomberg LP, a key provider of news and data about stock markets.
Bloomberg declined to immediately comment on the
outage.<BR><BR>Internet access has been cut or has become extremely
slow in Beijing, said an official from China Netcom, China's No. 2
phone company. The official, who would not give his name, said the
cause was thought to be the earthquake, but he had not further
details. Businesses in various parts of the city also said they were
experiencing Internet access problems.<BR><BR>CCTV, the state-run
television network, said the earthquake had damaged undersea
communications cables from China to the United States and from Asia
to Europe. It said China Telecom Corp., China's biggest phone
company, was contacting counterparts in the United States and Europe
about using satellites to make up for the shortfall.<BR><BR>KDDI
Corp., Japan's major carrier for international calls, said Thursday
that its fixed-line telephone service has been intermittently
affected following the quake. KDDI spokesman Haruhiko Maeda said
that the quake damaged several undersea communication cables in
southern Taiwan shared among international communication companies.
He said that customers are having trouble making calls to India and
the Middle East, which are usually routed through cables near
Taiwan. Maeda said the company is rerouting calls to go through the
U.S. and Europe and the company does not know how long it will take
to repair the cables.<BR><BR>Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs
and Communications said that international roaming service provided
by Japan's major three telecommunications - NTT DoCoMO, KDDI, and
Softbank, has been affected. Ministry official Akira Yamanaka said
that some customers were unable to make calls using their mobile
phones in countries including Taiwan.<BR><BR>The quake, which hit
offshore from the town of Hengchun near Taiwan's southern tip, came
on the second anniversary of the tsunami that killed more than
200,000 lives in southern Asia. Tuesday's quake was felt throughout
Taiwan. It shook buildings and knocked objects off the shelves in
the capital, Taipei, in the northern part of the island. Two members
of one family were killed Tuesday in Hengchun when their four-story
home collapsed. The quake injured 42 people, three homes collapsed
and 12 fires broke out, the National Fire Agency
said.<BR><BR>--Bangkok Post 2006-12-27<BR><BR>I hope this newsletter
