Indeed, it is a co-operative affair owned by several of the incumbent
telcos along the route, and one suspects that they engage in all of the
sort of benevolent, community-focussed behaviour that you'd expect from
incumbents.
On a more serious note, and peering / interconnection arrangements aside,
the cable fault indicates a critical lack of resilience on the west coast
of africa.
