Re: Rising sea levels are going to mess with the internet

I don't have a strong feeling on this matter, but it is not the average increase that matters. Every small increase in 
average has a multiplier effect on storm surge.

Nonetheless, my guess is that the real threat is to general property close to the shore, not the terrestrial cables 
even though they are not waterproof (only submarine cable can handle long term immersion).

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.
