   I just picked up a book called "The Web Beneath The Waves", but Samanth   
   Submaranian. It's all about the undersea cables we take for granted.   
      
   Another interesting story was a long article in Wired called "Mother   
   World, Mother Board", written by Neil Stephenson about the world's   
   depencency on undersea cables and interviews people in the business of   
   laying undersea fiber. Interesting read - I was just thinking last week   
   about going to MAE-West and trying to see if I could see where the fiber   
   came in.
