<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Or a pure act of Terrorism? Not quite
on the same scale but I admit to once being employed by a company
that had to take emergency measures after some boring hardware
failure to lay fibre across roof tops to maintain connectivity in
acertain regional NSW town, and I am sure I remember seeing more
than one purposeful looking 'kink' in the fibre from possible
disgruntled citizens. I thought that was pretty annoying but
someone coming and stealing a chunk of your cable would be quite
bad when it holds that much capacity!<br>

Is there a (black)market for 2nd hand submarine cable, or is
there something it is made with that is valuable enough to
make it worth stealing (copper perhaps?). It isn't going to
be the cleanest thing to buy and either redeploy or pull
apart.<br>
