  • Abstract
    Today, information flows across the globe as easily as it flows across the office. This information might come from New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, or Cape Town and arrive not from satellites but from cables that sit on the ocean floor. The Earth´s continents are connected with a web of undersea fiber optic cables that join the world´s major population centers. Anyone who surfs the Internet, makes overseas calls, or simply texts friends on other continents uses these undersea fiber optic cables.
