I'm not talking about the process of how undersea cables are laid but the actual planning process

For example who owns the cables, how do they get permission from each country to lay the cable, are their border conflicts, how do they connect to the local countries Internet, etc.

I always wondered if they actually lay on the floor and if so that they then are trying to do a route that is the least deep.
