Repair of Pacific Crossing Cable Pending Radiation Levels
Pacific Crossing, which lost connectivity on its PC-1 North and PC-1 West undersea cables as a result of the Japanese earthquake, confirmed that its cable repair ship, CS Lodbrog, is currently at Kagoshima Port (Southwest Japan). The ship is in port for additional preparation due to the radiation levels at the work area. A new repair schedule will be announced as soon as possible.
The company expects repairs on PC-1 West to commence immediately following the repair of PC-1 North.
Service on PC-1 South and PC-1 East is unaffected by this interruption. http://www.pc1.com/

You just read about Cable. Here is what it replaced:
LMDS / MMDS served 1998–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
LMDS / MMDS fixed broadband over microwave: rooftop antennas linked to line-of-sight base stations in the 2 GHz (MMDS) or 28/31 GHz (LMDS) bands, but rain fade and line-of-sight limits capped reach. Its job passed to Cable — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
