Many thanks to Charlie Rudd for passing on this reference published in 2015.

It makes interesting reading even to a person who did not have a lot to do with the introduction of undersea cables. The eBook costs $14.28 from Amazon (http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00WO58MBI) which is an $80 saving to the actual printed book.<\/p>\n
The reference covers the Pacific basin extensively with sections devoted to COMPAC and SEACOM. Co-axial cables with undersea repeaters are a child of the 1950\u2019s, COMPAC was right up there with it.<\/p>\n
The thing that Charlie found fascinating in the book is the coverage of the political machinations with USA generally and AT&T in particular trying to muscle in on COMPAC and how they were repulsed. Also the decision to use Hawaii instead of Fanning Is., the concessions that had to be made to the Americans.<\/p>\n
If you have been involved in cables it is quite good reading. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
