    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!
