Abstract
Most of the expansion in international telecommunication services provided during the past ten years has been carried on the 200,000 km of undersea fiber-optic communication systems that have been installed worldwide since their introduction in 1985. These digital systems have had profound impact on both the quantity and the quality of international telecommunication services.
