GIBRALTAR An article in The Gibraltar Chronicle says: "La Linea’s maverick mayor, Alejandro Sánchez, has asked Spanish telecoms operator Telefónica for details of its network of underground fibre optic line in the area. Sr Sánchez said the lines provide the means for Gibraltar to make significant revenues from web-based gaming firms. Now he wants to tap that traffic to earn cash for his bankrupt administration. Spanish newspaper Viva Campo de Gibraltar reported yesterday that the mayor’s team had requested the report from Telefónica to establish the scale of the physical infrastructure running to the border. The Ayuntamiento had already asked the Spanish government for information on the income generated in Gibraltar by online gaming. “The broadband fibre optic cables that are vital for this industry pass under La Linea, which is why La Linea wants to know what it gets in return,” Sr Sánchez told Viva. In a separate move, the Ayuntamiento has also put Gibraltar’s land reclamation projects under scrutiny." And we say: "Is there no stopping this madman?" What do you say?
