Undersea Cables

Sourced Tracked by the International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC), a genuine intergovernmental/industry body (253 members across 71 countries) that publishes aggregate submarine-cable-network statistics (~500 cable systems, ~1.8M km); note ICPC defers to TeleGeography, a private research firm, for cable-by-cable detail, so this citation covers the aggregate figure only. ICPC

Undersea cables are one of 11 of the category's 20 items directly backed by ITU's tracked indicators, or for undersea cables, the International Cable Protection Committee, rather than an editorial judgment call.
