I was reading about the submarine cables that were damaged near Japan after the earthquake. I started reading about them and find them fascinating. I thought coax was a bitch to work with... this stuff is 3" thick and weighs 7 lbs/ft -- and of course, is extremely expensive. Here's an updated map if anyone is interested: http://www.telegeography.com/product-in ... 2011-l.jpg Apparently less than 1% of all internet traffic is via satellite (and that's probably all from Antarctica.) It's all done by these submarine cables. Pretty cool. |

I happened upon it when researching the extreme BS a distant relative was feeding the other day "there is NO Fiber Optic cable service to Hawaii!!!" Really now http://www.submarinecablemap.com/ |

Yep cool stuff. Here's a neat (recent) documentary from CBS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfpNpQMYp8M Nice typo at the 3:40 mark. Haha... I guess CBS doesn't hire anyone that can spell. |
