Letter to a friend
from Jean Devos
The Cable ship CS Global Activity is in dry dock! The repair could take 2 to 3 years! Submarine cable activity has suddenly come to a full stop. Senior management really did not see this coming and have now had to resort to desperate measures, with no real visibility and often with a complete lack of vision! The “trough” looks very deep and painful, especially when contrasted with the historic peak of the last 3 years!
Was everybody wrong?
