The EMR was/is not coming from the fiber, its coming from the power cables wrapped around the fiber core used to transmit power to the under-sea repeaters. AT&T was aware that a problem might exist due to previous instances with "copper" cable. What they did not anticipate was the frequency of occurence which has apparantly increased due to the increased power levels for the FO repeaters.
