      What’s funny is, sharks legitimately attack these kinds of cables regularly. They need to be adequately shielded to prevent shark attacks.

        As they say, you’re more likely to get struck by lightning than attacked by a shark(unless you’re an Internet cable)

        Why not just bury them?

          Environmentalists don’t like it when you bury too many sharks.

            This caught me off guard. I’m lucky I wasn’t drinking anything.

          Because it’s one thing to cruise along with a ship and just unspool some cable into the water but a whole other thing to dig hundreds of miles of trenches deep under water.

          People with shovels don’t like to get wet.

          It’s more expensive, especially in super deep water
