Abstract

Since the telecom bubble burst, the international telecommunication industry has been retiring undersea submarine cables at an unprecedented rate. Despite the use of undersea cables for communications for more than 154 years, there is no literature on the legal status of these cables. This paper addresses the legal status of out-of-service submarine cables and proposes contemporary standards for the management and disposition of these cables which are in harmony with the provisions of the United Nations Law of the Sea Convention (1982).
