this involved, I think, just intuiting signals from the nearfield effects of the cable, no? 'drop a large sensor ontop-of/next-to the cable, win!'

this I thought included the capabilities to drag the fiber/line into the hull for 'work' to be done... I'd note that introducing signal loss on the longhaul fiber seems 'risky', you'd have to know (and this isn't hard I bet) the tolerances of the link in question and have a way to stay inside those tolerances and not introduce new splice-points/junctions/etc and be careful for the undersea cable power (electric) requirements as well. fun stuff! and yea, why not just work with the landindstation operators to use the existing monitoring ports they use? (or get a copy of the monitor ports) -chris
