BTW, I have installed thousands of miles of fiber and been submerged in plenty of manholes over the years.  If you have 
been in a manhole in the spring you would know what a non-event you are talking about here.  A lot of your Internet is 
under water a lot of the time anyway (not even counting all of the oceanic stuff).


Since we have been able to cope with train derailments, backhoes, forest fires, traffic accidents, etc, I am pretty 
confident that the networks will keep up with the lightning fast 1/8" per year rise in >sea level.
