According to this article on Manager, the head of the CAT Labour Union has threatened to cut the country’s submarine Internet connectivity if the Prime Minister again uses violence or attempts to arrest the PAD leaders.

CAT is a state enterprise, formerly the Communications Authority of Thailand.

Such a move would leave Thailand without any Internet connectivity and also cut most International telephone lines.

The report says that the cuts could be made at either the control centre in Nontaburi, or at the landing points, all of which are under union control.
