AND

Continuing on the GBN idea. This network needs to be black ops material of course. Also, the cables should be housed inside a high tech pipe before it's laid.

These pipes should act like the pipes i described in the post i wrote about creating jobs in america.
These high tech pipe should be fitted with real time sensors that can communicate if the pipe is/has been compromised. For example, these pipes should be able to relay that its cracked 5 cms from x on the y side.

Being that the GBN will have no communication with public networks, you will need these high tech housings as a level of security. Since the only way to connect to the GBN will be at known and monitored access points the only other way one could connect would be to find the actual cable system and connect somewhere along the pipeline. Having these pipes would help protect bludgers from tapping in.

Also when laying the GBN, it should have several cable paths (avenues/branches). So in case one part of the pipeline is compromised, that part could be shut down and the others could remain active.
