I would think a few well-covered pathways linking the continents would suffice (like the redundant undersea cables we currently rely on). The only real question IMHO is how to build such platforms such that they are resistant to the elements including rare natural events such as large earthquakes and tidal waves, and also such that they are resistant to sabotage (undersea cables are easy to sabotage but difficult to access).<br /><br />I really think that by the time you could cover all of the ocean surface area, we'd already be transitioning to quantum methods for transmitting data, possibly obviating the range limitations of conventional transmission methods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
