Re: cutting undersea cables. For critical infrastructure like this during cold war style conditions (i.e. Russian-NATO conflict), I wonder how pros/cons of public vs private ownership compare...<p>For example: I could imagine sabotaging <i>public</i> infra is more akin to an attack on the state (therefore disincentized). But on the other hand, I suspect <i>private</i> interests can be more clever in protecting their investment, because they can more readily pay for high mitigation costs when consequent losses would be high.<p>Anyone else know how to thing of the tradeoffs between public vs private infrastructure here?
