PIPE Networks, who are building a cable from Sydney to Guam and
interconnecting there with VSNL (the TYCO Guam-Japan spur) have set up a
blog covering various aspects of the build.

Quite interesting, and a pretty open approach (typical of PIPE).  Covers 
also the terrestrial builds, snippets (with links to more detailed 
discussions) on how repeaters work, horizontally drilled ducts, etc, etc 
- comments/questions can be posted and get responded to......

As you maybe aware, we have launched our PIPE International website. 
We've decided to do something a little different and that is undertake 
the construction in an open and transparent manner.

PPC-1 is an exciting development for competitive international 
transmission into Australia and we have decided to go the 'open' route 
in order to provide interested parties the ability to check out how 
the system is progressing and to ask any questions you may have.  
Anyway, thought you might be interested in how to build a submarine 
cable...
