Hayastan Shakarian, a 75-year-old Georgian who says that has not even heard of the Internet, has been arrested and risk imprisonment. This is because she "managed" to cut, by itself, the cable Internet access to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
Georgia</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Armenia</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Azerbaijan</st1lace></st1:country-region>, says the BBC.
While dig for copper, the woman cut from a shot, fiber optic cables, which is why the international press named it “shovel” hackers. Beyond the novelty and fun of the situation, the episode raises a question: how is it possible that in a world so technologically advanced in the millions of people remain without internet because of a shovel?
One of five companies "die" if it remained a week without internet
A study of communications company Avanti, conducted in 2010, shows how necessary it is for business internet. Thus, only 1% of the companies could work in the offline, and 20% of representatives of the companies have said that if he runs a weekly Internet, their company would die.
"Several years ago, the Internet was just another communication channel. Today, it means phones, e-mail, databases, online shopping, marketing. Without it there is no way to develop your business," said Chris Kimm, Vice president of a division of Verizon Internet service provider.
Oliver Pettit, the Internet company Deloitte, says that the main question that it should and make Internet providers, when they opened their business is online if you can guarantee that they remain "close to 100% of the time."
Some solutions are simple, says Pettit. For example, the British company Geo has pulled the cables through the sewers of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">London</st1lace></st1:City>. Thus, to solve a major problem telecommunication cables are placed over the water and gas pipes and no longer are in danger every time they work on utilities.
In contrast, other solutions are downright ingenious. The company uses a sonar OptaSense announces its employees each time an "outsider" approach internet cables, be it a car, a man, a shovel or a pichamăr.
However, fiber also presents a disadvantage: price. "A meter costs about 170 euros," says David Williams, director of Avanti. His company has found the solution: satellite internet. In November, they opened a satellite covering the whole of Europe and offers 24-hour Internet signal 24, and this year will launch a Middle East and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">India</st1lace></st1:country-region>.
