if yes, here we see once again the "benefits" of having a monopoly in the telecom industry. and a bad one it seems... even if the incumbent is the only way out of the island, it would seem wise (not cost-driven) to have a second cable at least connecting the island to the world... ;-)
And make sure the two landing stations are on opposite sides of the island. But even then you can't win - I seem to recall that Sri Lanka has a small problem with rebels - who could conceivably end up controlling one of the stations.....
