Paul,
first of all, what in the world would one do with such gadgets ?
anyway..
i guess the laws that apply are those that would apply to illegally making
calls on the lines of a telephone company.
the cables ARE private property and as such are covered by
multiple trade and war pact agreemnts.
(geneva, euro-dollars, nafta....)
there are a limited numbers of IRC's on the planet..
IRCs are supercarriers or 'International Record Carriers'
such as C&W, BT, FranceTelecomm, AT&T and Global Crossing
to name a few.
the cables may be in international waters under whatever
sovereign government trade agreements, but the cable and
its associated infra-structure BELONGS to the supercarriers.
piranha...
