temporary outage --- Knowing the importance of these backbone cables to internet traffic worldwide, shouldn't there be certain standards for depths of these cables or warning alerts in the vicinity of such cables by passing ocean liners? why not place IoT devices on these cables which senses a close object (at a certain distance) and immediately sends a sonar alarm to the port or the passing ship? Isn't everything connected? where are our smart sensors?
