Telecom Shakeout Continues
A Fiber Pioneer Restructures. Flag Telecom, one of the firms that helped spark the fiber-optic building boom of the late 1990s, files for bankruptcy protection after missing debt payments. By Joanna Glasner. [Wired News]
If you haven't read Neal Stephenson's article about "the longest wire on Earth," you should. Though it dates back to December of 1996, it is timely still because of the cost and time required to lay a transoceanic cable. This article is over 50 pages long, but it remains one of the most educational pieces that Wired has ever published. If you have any interest whatsoever in how we move data around the globe, this is worth your time.
