Audio and text of a January 2007 article about making electrical repairs on the ocean floor. Describes the steps of how the repair takes place: discover location of damage (based on reported phone or Internet service outages or sending light pulses), send a cable repair ship that uses a robot or grapnel to pull the loose ends to the ship, repair by splicing, and lower cable back to the seabed.
