    Minor error I would like to point out: The data itself doesn't actually travel at the speed of light. The data is sent through fiber-optic cables, which are technically not wires. Fiberoptic cables allow light to bend with the cable (not going in a straight line such as in air or water). On each end of the fiberoptic cable, there is a laser and a sensor that detects the light coming from the other device. By pulsing the laser at high speed, the devices can transmit data. The pulses of laser light do travel at the speed of light. (The speed of light through optical fiber is slightly slower than through a vacuum.) The rate of data transmission is limited by the rate at which the transmitter can pulse the laser.

    Wouldn't this guy have had to secure the rights to tunnel through loads of both private and government properties in order to lay this massive cable? That would have cost an absolute fortune, and likely required either quite a few major kickback deals from the use of the cable or a whole lot of subterfuge. The only alternative is that he did a lot of the digging illegally, and if so then sections of his cable should now be owned by a whole host of individuals and local governments. I feel like we're missing a major detail here...

The man from the utility company told him that this 300 million dollar wire was attached to a pipeline on one side, so they dug on the other. While the team was digging, my engineering teacher got a bad feeling, and told the team to stop. The utility guy was wrong about the location, they were a matter of inches from tearing the 300 million dollar wire. TL;DR: My engineering teacher almost broke this wire.
