Interesting Book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Communications Under the Seas: The Evolving Cable Network and Its Implications (Dibner Institute Studies in the History of Science and Technology) (Hardcover)
This book is a series of essays on the commercial, economic, and strategic implications of submarine telecommunications cables, beginning with the earliest telegraph cables through today's fiber optic cables. One might consider this the story of the rise, fall, and rise of submarine telecoms; at first telegraph was successful but was largely superseded by radio and then satellite for a number of decades. Today's modern fiber networks have reclaimed a pre-eminent position for subsea cables. This is not a technical book; it's a mix of history, economics, and politics. If this interests you, then go for it; if you are looking for something about technology or for a quick read, then this book is not for you. If you work in the submarine telecom industry (and I do) it will provide some interesting historical context.
