Building a subsea cable to better connect Africa
This doesn&#x27;t directly have to do with this article, but in case some people have not seen it before:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;1996&#x2F;12&#x2F;ffglass&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;1996&#x2F;12&#x2F;ffglass&#x2F;</a> &quot;Mother Earth Mother Board&quot;<p>This is a good hour-long read, one of the most interesting descriptions I ever read of all that goes into funding, building, operating subsea fiber optic cables that connect us around the world.  It&#x27;s a couple years out of date, but very entertaining.  Goes from the physics of transmission all the way to the ships and people who lay the cable.
