TAT-14 is AT&T's 14th transatlantic telephone cable system. In operation from 2000 it utilises wavelength division multiplexing to carry 16 x STM-64 circuits between the USA and the United Kingdom, France, The Netherlands. Germany and Denmark in a ring topolgy.
By the time this cable went into operation, the expected long boom (term coined by Wired magazine) was already ending in the dot-com death. The overinvestment in transcontinental optical fiber capacity led to a financial crisis in private cable operators like Global Crossing, but maybe not for AT&T?
