Network resilience (or lack therof) Internet Style

Apparently, a number of important internet backbone cables serving India and Iran have been severed recently: It’s 2008 — Do You Know Where Your Internet Cables Are?.

This is similar in structure to highway network links being severed, except imagine there were only 3 links into the country, and they all failed in one week. Might this be Non-random?
