How are fiber optics "dated technology"??

Can't we just use satellites

Satellites have a LOT more latency because of the distance to/from the satellite, and can't handle the kind of bandwidth that a large fiberoptic line can handle. Also, they are pretty expensive for a given amount of data.

Are we running fiber objects in the ocean to Eastern Europe like we are Western Europe?
