These cables are supported by Telekom. Other countries would want to cut them for various reasons such as; personal vendetta against us, they are trying to disable our means of communications, or just by accident maybe. On the internet there are a number of maps that show the location of these cables in order to try to prevent any accidents from happening. Also, Wikipedia has a list of international submarines communications cables. Make them pay for the damages and repairs plus make them reimburse the profit they would make from there delivery. The UN government would have to implement it and go through with all the penalties. It is cost-effective because no one is going to want to pay all the money, therefore, they will hopefully be more careful when it comes to undersea cables. It helps everyone throughout the whole world because it is definitely one of the most useful means of communication and technology. The people it would hurt would be the ones who cut it either on purpose or by accident. It could also hurt the tax payers if they were forced to contribute money to the damages or obviously if their taxes were raised in order to compensate for the damages.
