Vietnamese service providers who rely on this connection have seen many international services, including the internet, halted until the end of August.
The failure may have been caused by a vessel anchored in the region or by a landslide on the seabed. However it is expected to be back into operation by August 31, said Lam Quoc Cuong, Director of the Vietnam Telecoms International (VTI).
The Asian-American Gateway is a 20,000-kilometre sub-sea optic fibre cable that connects Southeast Asia with the North American mainland, crossing the Pacific Ocean via Guam and Hawaii . It also links up with Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei and Vietnam.-VNA
