TAT-14
TAT-14 is the 14th consortium transatlantic telecommunications cable system. In operation from 2001, it uses wavelength division multiplexing. The cable system is built from multiple pairs of fibres—one fibre in each pair is used for data carried in one direction and the other in the opposite direction. Although optical fibre can be used in both directions simultaneously, for reliability it is better not to require splitting equipment at the end of the individual fibre to separate transmit and receive signals—hence a fibre pair is used. TAT-14 uses four pairs of fibres—two pairs as active and two as backup. Each fibre in each pair carries 16 wavelengths in one direction, and each wavelength carries up to an STM-256 (38,486,016 kbit/s as payload). The fibres are bundled into submarine cables connecting the United States and the European Union (United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark) in a ring topology.
By the time this cable went into operation, the expected long boom (term coined by Wired magazine) was already ending in the dot-com death. The overinvestment in transcontinental optical fiber capacity led to a financial crisis in private cable operators like Global Crossing.

Do Wah Diddy Diddy
by: Neil DiamondThere she was
Just a-walkin' down the street
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Poppin' her fingers
And shufflin' her feet,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
She looked good,
She looked fine,
She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind.
Before I knew it
She was walkin' next to me.
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
She took my hand
Just as natural as can be,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We walked on,
To my door,
We walked on to my door,
Then we kissed a little more
I knew we were falling in love
I told her all the things
That I'd been dreamin' of
Now we're together
Nearly every single day,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We're so happy
And that how we're gonna stay,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
I'm hers
She's mine
Well I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime
I knew we were falling in love,
I told her all the things
That I'd been dreamin' of.
We're togther
Nearly every single day
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
And we're so happy
And that how we're gonna stay
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
I'm hers
She's mine
I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
