i would imagine that the cost of trenching across a continent is somewhat
more labour intensive than reeling cable out of the back of a boat.
although slicing a cable break in the desert of Nevada is probably less
labour intensive than hauling a cable up in the middle of the atlantic.
but then again, there are probably far fewer errant backhoes in the atlantic.
