Armenia's 2011 Internet Cutoff Made Cross-Border Fiber Control an Accountability Test
On 28 March 2011, damage to fibre routes in Georgia removed most of the international Internet capacity available to Armenia. The enduring lesson is not that one person with a shovel can "turn off a country." It is that several visible providers can still depend on a shared geographic corridor, a common upstream system and repair authority outside the country they serve. Accountability begins by identifying those hidden common controls and testing whether purchased diversity survives the physical failure that actually occurs.
