From your Undersea Cables 101 article, did you notice this tidbit about capacity on previous systems and the rate of fill?

"Time to fill capacity

When TAT-8 was planned the consortium estimated that it would take twelve years, or half the planned lifetime, for it to be filled. It entered service in 1988 and was full two years later. The TAT-12/13 cable system offered twenty times more capacity than TAT-8, and the consortium again estimated that twelve years would be needed before the capacity would be filled. The system entered service in 1996, the capacity is already subscribed for, and will surely all be in use by the end of 1998."
