Because of the way current submarine cables are being built (mainly by
the content folk, less by traditional telco's), limiting the number of
fibre pairs does not make sense anymore, especially for them since they
would be partnering with some carriers along the route.
I mean, you're already laying it. Fibre, itself, doesn't cost that
much... the cost is elsewhere.
