DN, I found your account of laying submarine cable interesting. But for the sake of clarity, I'd like to know where you learned that subsea cables are always laid on the ocean floor, and never draped between high mountain peaks in deep water. I find this difficult to fathom.

You also say they don't use submarines. How about unmanned remote submersible vehicles, or RSVs? Do these qualify as subs?

You also imply that the present ring which is being used is self-healing, and that no one knows when there is a break. Does it in fact self heal? Or are the restoration processes still very much a form of table driven, or manual, switched restoral processes between multiple nodes, that 'would' be noticed? Note, I'm not saying this to minimize their restorative capabilities, only that it isn't always as quick as a flash at this time as one would perceive.

I don't that think you are altogether correct on some of these matters, and if I were you I'd check them out to be sure. FWIW.

Regards, Frank Coluccio
