Book Description
Excerpt from The Trans-Atlantic Submarine Telegraph: A Brief Narrative of the Principal Incidents in the History of the Atlantic Telegraph Company; Complied From Authentic and Official Documents My husband, during the last two years of his life, was much interested in putting together some authentic particulars of the history of the Atlantic Telegraph, in which he took so prominent a part. Therefore, out of respect for his memory, I have determined to publish them. I think that this history will be an agreeable recollection to any of the Directors who are now living, and an interesting story to all. And I am sure that those who worked with my husband will bear testimony to the modesty that he displays when he speaks of the part he took in the great enterprise.

Submarine Cables and the Oceans
Author: L. Carter
Publisher: UNEP/Earthprint
ISBN: 9780956338723
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
There are many things and services in our everyday life that we take for granted, and telecommunications is one of them. We surf the internet, send emails to friends and colleagues abroad, talk to family members in foreign countries over the phone, book airline seats and make banking transactions without actually realizing and appreciating the sophisticated technology that enables us to do so. This report covers the history and nature of cables, their special status in international law, their interaction with the environment and other ocean users and, finally, the challenges of the future. It is an evidence-based synopsis that aims to improve the quality and availability of information to enhance understanding and cooperation between all stakeholders. UNEP-WCMC in collaboration with the International Cable Protection Committee and UNEP has prepared this new report to provide an objective, factual description of the sub-marine cable industry and the interaction of submarine telecommunications (which route 95% of all international communications traffic) with the marine environment. This important report seeks to focus and guide deliberations and decision making on the wise conservation and protection of the oceans in concert with their sustainable management and use.
