A whole new investment opportunity: "The International Cable Protection Committee, an association of 86 submarine cable operators dedicated to protect submarine cables, says more than 95% of transoceanic telecoms and data traffic are carried by submarine cables, and the rest by satellite."

And here Rico had assumed most of this stuff went via satellite...
