Hi, Nice flash animation from alcatel how submarine cables get laid and repaired: http://www1.alcatel-lucent.com/submarine/products/marine/index.htm bye, ingo
Thanks for the link, which brought me to the page http://www1.alcatel-lucent.com/submarine/vessels/index.htm where their vessels are decribed. Their specs bring up something (at to least to me) of interest. The popular story is always "in the 90-ties so much submarine (trans-Atlantic & -Pacific fiber was laid that it will take decades to fill it up. And the bust of 2000 seemed proof enough. However, from the specs of Alcatel's 5 vessels one learns that 4 of them are effectively from 2002 (!). So did Alcatel some anti-cyclic investing - or did they know more than others? grtz d -- Each day, one day is added to our past, and thus one day subtracted from our future. That is why the future ought to be simpler than the past. Why is it then, that we always wrestle with the future? --Nico Baken
