feasible in the old days, but when a single fiber can run 64 wavelength

DWDM certainly makes it more complicated. Of course, that same
technology allows them to send much more back. (Regarding the single
OC-3 mentioned previously.)
Well, DISTANCE makes it more complicated first of all. You need undersea
repeaters and/or OFAs in order to get traffic from most parts
When I was in Telecom we audited pieces of an undersea NSA network that was
based on OC-3 ATM. It had some odd components, however, including
reflective-mode LiNBO3 modulators and even acousto-optic modulators.
(Actually, one of the components started dying which put them into a
