The protection of undersea internet cables is a matter of national security.
Good. It shouldn’t be so simple to completely isolate and cripple a country.
US like always is missing the point. The real story should be that redundancy is key. Even with those cables cut, there was no noticeable interruption in internet services.
Yeah but have you considered that redundancy costs money that could be going to shareholders?
Never crossed my mind. Time to start a new business venture, thanks for the idea.
Did you even read the headline? Redundancy isn’t the issue, the Chinese is. If we can just make one super-American aluminum cable, it’ll last forever!
Why would China cut there connection to the US? That wouldn’t make sense.
They could also lay down more cables for redundancy. Expensive but it would prove much more safe. It would be best if they were owned by two separate companies using totally different stuff.
The good new right now is that China would lose more than the US would if a cable got cut.
