The internet changed the world so much. This is what humans are capable of. It's just a shame our appreciation of blowing each others up surpasses our appreciation of quality of life features...
Submarine cables are very important in today's world. Some 97% of all communications and Internet data are carried into and out of the United Kingdom by submarine cables, rather than satellites.
Does anyone know if the staff who work on this type of vessel can make voice or video phone calls? There is some guy who contacted me via a dating website. He claimed that he is working on a cable-laying vessel as a telecommunication engineer, therefore, he couldn't take my phone call because they have to hand in their own cell phones and ID; he can only text me using an encrypted device configured with his own sim card that he uses for work records and report. This sounds very fishy to me and also he mentioned he works six months on and 11 months off, which doesn't sound right also. I appreciate if someone whoever worked on this type of vessel can provide some insight.
