Special:Badtitle/NS90:Milestone-Proposal talk:Trans-Atlantic Telephone Fiber-optic Submarine Cable (TAT-8) - 1988/Advocate Approval/reply (3)
From IEEE Milestones Wiki
I support this as an IEEE Milestone.
Regarding the citation.....
I also tripped on the "...leapfrogged..." used as: "It leapfrogged the fiber cable, laser, detector and repeater technologies used in land applications at that time."
Might a more acceptable sentence be: "The technologies surpassed the fiber cable, laser, detector and repeater technologies used in land applications at the time"?
Or, perhaps the term "advanced" in place of surpassed or leapfrogged?
