Ngo-Okthoba 24, iwebhusayithi yephephandaba laseSpain i-Abéxé yashicilela isihloko esithi "Ithunzi lokubhujiswa lifihla umgwaqo omkhulu wedijithali ongaphansi kwamanzi" ngu-Alexia Colomba Jerez. Umbhalo ogcwele ukhishwe kanje:
OwayenguNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela waseFrance uFlorence Parly wake wathi: “Izintambo zethu ezihamba ngaphansi kolwandle zingase zibe izisulu zamazwe azama ukuzicekela phansi.” Ingqalasizinda ye-inthanethi ingaphansi kwezinsongo ezingaqondile nezicashile. Impi ebandayo engaphansi kolwandle iqhutshwa phezu kwezintambo ze-undersea fiber optic, ezithonywa izinkampani nezizwe ezakha ukulandisa okusha kwe-geopolitical.
"Ziyingqalasizinda ebucayi ngoba i-inthanethi esetshenziswa yiwo wonke umuntu, ukusebenza kwezimakethe zezimali ngisho namakhono athile ezempi ancike kula manethiwekhi amakhebula e-fiber optic angaphansi kwamanzi," kuchaza uNobhala Jikelele we-NATO uJens Stoltenberg. Ukucekelwa phansi kwakamuva kwepayipi legesi yemvelo le-Nord Stream kubonakala kuyisenzo esinamandla esingokomfanekiso, okuveza ubuthakathaka baseNtshonalanga, futhi izintambo ezikhona ezikhona ngaphansi kolwandle ezingu-475 zinganakwa "Achilles heel."
U-Héctor Esteban, umqondisi weSikole Sobunjiniyela Bezokuxhumana e-Polytechnic University of Valencia, eSpain, waphawula ukuthi izintambo ezibonakalayo ezingaphansi kwamanzi ziyingxenye eyinhloko ye-topology ye-inthanethi yayo yonke, futhi ngaphezu kuka-95% wokudluliselwa kwedatha nge-inthanethi kuyenziwa. ngokusebenzisa izintambo ze-submarine optical. Ukusebenzisa amasathelayithi ekudluliseni idatha kuyabiza futhi kunokubambezeleka kwesignali isikhathi eside.
Inyanga ngaphambi kokugqashuka kwengxabano e-Ukraine, ikhebula le-undersea fiber optic elixhuma iNorway e-Arctic lanqanyulwa ngaphandle kwesizathu esicacile eSvalbard.
Iqoqo leziqhingi lingelinye lamasango okuthuthukiswa kwemithombo kawoyela negesi yase-Arctic. NgoFebhuwari, umkhumbi-ngwenya wezinhloli waseRussia wabonwa emanzini ngasogwini lwase-Ireland njengoba udlula phezu kwentambo ewela i-Atlantic ngaphansi kolwandle exhuma iYurophu ne-United States. Umbutho wezempi wase-Ireland uthe inhloso yomkhumbi-ngwenya akukhona ukunqamula izintambo ngaphansi kolwandle, kodwa ukuthumela umyalezo ku-NATO ukuthi bangazinqamula noma nini. UMark Galeotti, uchwepheshe waseRussia e-University College London, uthe ngenxa yokugcwala kwezinkampani zobuchwepheshe, i-Ireland iyindawo ebalulekile, ngakho-ke ingase ibe inkundla yempi yesikhathi esizayo.
UJosé Antonio Morán, inhloko yoMnyango Wezobunjiniyela Bobuchwepheshe Bezokuxhumana Nezinsizakalo e-Open University yaseCatalonia eSpain, wabonisa ukuthi elinye lamasu okuqala ekuqaleni kwempi kwakuwukuphuphuthekisa isitha. Ukumane uthinte intambo eyodwa esebenza ngaphansi kwamanzi kuzokhubaza inani elikhulu lezinkampani futhi kubangele ukulahlekelwa okukhulu kwezomnotho.
U-Pierre Morcos kanye no-Colin Wall, ozakwabo e-Centre for Strategic and International Studies, baveza ukuthi ukusika izintambo ze-fiber optic ezingaphansi kwamanzi kungafeza izinhloso eziningi: ukunqamula ukuxhumana kwezempi noma kukahulumeni ezigabeni zokuqala zokungqubuzana; ukunqamula ukufinyelela kwe-inthanethi kubantu okuhlosiwe, ukuphazamiseka komnotho ngezinjongo ze-geopolitical, njll. Ukusika izintambo ezihamba ngaphansi kolwandle kungafinyelela zonke lezi zinhloso ngesikhathi esisodwa.
