Dear all,
As you may know, the hurricane MARIA is about to pass over Puerto Rico
in Cat 5. Yesterday, it devastated Dominica Island.
Since that, the country is in an electric and telecom blackout.
We are about to send a team we emergency satellite equipment but are
struggling to get an airlift via different governments and armies. By
this time, I'm doing a remote assessment of what can be assessed.
2 submarine cables have landing points in Dominica. One of them, ECFS
(East Caribbean Fiber System) is co-owned by Orange (AT&T, Cable &
Wireless), the other, Southern Caribbean Fiber, by Digicel.
All IP prefixes announced by AS11139 (Cable & Wireless Dominica) are not
announced anymore. Same on other AS present on the Island. This is
probably because of the power outage but I'd like to be sure the fibers
are fine up to landing points.
I was wondering if one of this mailing list's subscriber could get
information on the cables status, particularly for their landing points
in Dominica.
Thank you !
Clément
