Visitors look at telecommunication cable

Visitors look at telecommunication cable displayed at an exhibition in Beijing, 24 October 2007. China has begun laying a 500-million-dollar fiber optic cable to the United States that will be vital in meeting booming Internet traffic between the two nations, state press reported 23 October as the new cable is expected to help avoid breakdowns in trans-oceanic Internet traffic similar to what occurred following a 7.1-magnitude earthquake that struck the seabed near Taiwan on December 26, snapping undersea telecom cables.
