Taiwan Earthquake – 26 December 2006
Large earthquake (Richter 7.1) hit Luzon Strait on 26 Dec 2006, with multiple aftershocks (Richter 6.9, 5.6, 5.5, 5.4)
Seven of the nine cable systems passing through the straight were severed
Part of Asia Netcom’s EAC and Guam-Philippines were the only systems that remained in service
Huge financial losses to businesses from being off-air
Took >six weeks to repair all earthquake-damaged cables

Lessons from the Taiwan Earthquake Dramatically showed the fragility of the global Internet Local events can have far-reaching impact Physical failures can take considerable time to remedy Asia is particularly vulnerable Resilience and redundancy are even higher on everyone’s agenda
Several new regional cable systems are now under constructionTrans-Pacific Express (US-China)FLAG NGN (Intra-Asia, Intra-Africa, Mediterranean, trans-Pacific IMEWE/TIC (Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Europe)East Asia Crossing Extension (see later)Asia-America Gateway (see later)
