Compiler Error 1 - A colony of electric eels was responsible in 2013 for disturbing the operation of fiber optic cabling resulting in significant packet loss to the islands of French Polynesia. 2 - In 2014, a security camera revealed that sharks were biting undersea fiber optic cabling, presumably attracted to the magnetic field emitted by the high voltage power required for optical repeaters. 3 - An undersea cable is technically referred as a submarine communications cable, and unlike the name implies, has little to do with submarines, but the cables were used as early as the 1850’s with the telegraph. 4 - It took more than a year to construct and install the MAREA cable, a 4000 mile cable connecting Spain to the United States, that can transmit up to 200 terabits per second..
