The cable has since been secured and tested to be working properly.<\/p>\n<p>The Decisive, with its load of 2428.651 km of submarine cable, has now commenced the cable lay from Guam to just north of Madang in Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n<p>Our CEO, Bevan Slattery, was in Guam to oversee the landing and connection of the cable, and would like to thank the landing team, including Tyco Telecom and Calpac.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What else can come out of this?\u00a0 Maybe the dreams of making Guam a central technology hub for the pacific will come true.\u00a0 Maybe even building that convention center will come true.\u00a0 Whatever the case, this opens up more lines of technology for the island to use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pipeinternational.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.pipeinternational.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laying cable across the ocean floor totally geeks me out.\u00a0 That&#8217;s why I decided to follow this trek of cable in Guam.\u00a0 What will this mean for Guam?
