"storm has been brewing about the fibre land cable that makes its way to the international connection point in Estepona - but this time it is not against Gibraltar, instead it has been reported that when the cable was laid the fishing vessels in La Atunara were promised 6,000 euros each for certain limitations that had arisen in their fishing habits because of the cable. But apparently they have not receiced what was promised.
The cabling was laid in November 2006 when three of the eight fibre optics submarine cable were found damaged. The Spanish telephone company Telefonica claimed at the time that the damage had been caused by some of the fishing fleet at La Atunara.
The cable did not become operational as planned, until the problem was resolved.
The cable follows a path on the La Atunara beach vicinity, thus vessels going about their business nearby, which includes fishing on the seabed, are said to have caused the damage, according to Telefonica."
