In another newsgroup someone wrote about a delay in the news and
someone else explained that this was because the TAT-8 had broken and
there were some delays as the internet was being rerouted over
satellites.

What is true of this story, and why didn't anybody bring it up here?
(or was it up here but was I unable to get it because............)

[Moderator's Note: Quite honestly, I had not heard about it. Had there
been something mentioned, I'd have put the item to the front of the
queue immediatly. Has anyone else heard anything on this?  PAT]
