In this episode of It’s Technical, we follow the thread of this invisible network that connects our world. We start at sea, aboard a cable-laying ship, then trace back to the source, in a highly secured factory where these giant cables are mass-produced.
But it’s not just an engineering matter. It’s also a story of power. Who owns these cables? Why is their number booming with artificial intelligence? And how have these underwater pipelines become a geopolitical issue as discreet as it is critical?
