Du signs deal to connect UAE to PEACE cable

United Group acquired Bulsatcom, a direct-to-home satellite television and broadband internet provider in Bulgaria.

The PEACE subsea cable cut in the Red Sea, reported by a number of news outlets early last week, could be a long-term issue, with repairs taking months.

Saudi Arabian telco Mobily and Telecom Egypt announced on Monday that they have signed a cooperation deal to land the first subsea cable directly linking Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
