Connected, ping!
That’s a lot of tubes.
Great info, thanks.
Thanks; I had no idea. I thought it was all done with satellites.
Lies, it’s made of tubes.
I can remote into callers computers in Hawaii as if I were there which amazes me as sometimes I cannot connect to people in the same building as I am in....
Recall the Clinton scheme to sell the rights for trans-Atlantic cable traffic to Terry McAuliffe (now Va governor) for a pittance? (or something like that)
Global crossing scandal. http://www.happinessonline.org/InfectiousGreed/p18.htm
Cables are one thing.... satellites are another, and this does not show the proprietary satellites (owned by companies for example, and separately by countries) that communicate even faster.
Wonder what the cost/foot is? Must be ginourmous........
Does this show Global Crossings—— LOL! The pump and dump hustle of fiber optic cable... that Terry McAulliffe helped defraud to investors.
The company that went belly up, and whose CEO lives in a huge mansion in CA and back at it with other “startups”.
Cable is past tense. Ask Hitlery— she would know.
Ivy Bells- the sequel.
If these are private and owned by corporations, then Obama's declaration that the "internet" is a utility to be federally regulated amounts to a 5th amendment taking. He's either taking the servers, storage, and cables outright and nationalizing them, or he needs to pay fair price for the property takings.
If he is 5th amendment taking for "public use," he should be sued in court to explain that use. I bet in that case, the Kelo case would come back to haunt us, as that ruling transformed "public use" into "public good." Public use meant direct use, as in a highway, school, or civic building. Public good meant indirect use, as in the tax benefits of other owners using the property in allegedly more profitable ways.
Obama will claim public good of a nationalized internet, but won't pay a dime for taking control of private assets.

Fascinating stuff, love to learn things on FR, good post!
I hope that Giant Lobster doesn’t eat through the Cables.
I thought repeaters were required for fiber optic?
Do you realize that the heat from all of this underwater cables has the potential to raise the temperature of the oceans and perhaps make them boil away into the atmosphere! I’m working on a computer simulation that will show that this is possible right now. And if a computer program and be made to show something is possible, even if one has to manipulate the input, then it will happen.
