I was probably feeling - or hearing - the effects of increased activity on remining cables when I talked to Amazon support in India on Sunday. Not only was the connection VERY bad (like in the old days when you got an overseas call) but the hold music was Indian and the CS guy asked if he could hold me for a second.

Did anyone else notice that Turkey is spelled Turkiye on this map? It appears to be a regional spelling rather than a typo (they have "Turkey" right under it). Just something I noticed.

They also have a different spelling of Greece, but I do not feel like hunting down those characters.

This is the website I pulled the map from (it was linked to from the slashdot article)

I noticed (for whatever it's worth) that in the comments section, one of the responders put:

Türkiye is the Turkish spelling of Turkey. Notice that Greece, China, and Thailand are also labeled in their native languages. Why they're the only three to get such treatment I have no idea.

As for it being an effort to tap those lines, that doesn't make sense to me. They could easily be tapped elsewhere and if the owning companies were involved (as the article implies) then they could probably do it in such a way to have no unexplained downtime.

But what do I know. I still think we landed on the moon so I'm obviously credulous.
