#6 When the Indian companies Reliance and Tata bought Flag and Tyco respectively, they signed agreements with the US Department of Homeland Security. I would think any tapping could be done at their switches.

#8 Hmmm ... via Instapundit, a clue that Iran is not in fact cut off from access but rather is locking down their domestic ability to get info and news from abroad:

Regarding your recent post about Iran being cut off from the net, if you browse to http://router1.iust.ac.ir/, the node used for a benchmark at http://www.internettrafficreport.com/asia.htm, you get asked for a username and password to connect.
