Interesting thought! I don't imagine they've considered that question given the overall ideas discussed in the plans. Of course the answer might depend upon the cable itself, what is it and is it still used in some capacity? I imagine it is something dating back decades and no longer in use but I don't know.
The AT&T cable is still there. While I've heard it’s no longer in service those are rumors and just that, rumors. At the far left end there was a sign posted at the base of the pier for many, many years to not anchor close to the pier itself. When the fire happened and they made some repairs to open it back up it was moved up and relocated to the backside of the pier on the pilings. It has since been torn off, most likely by vandals. The steel door was ripped off at the end where the testing station is and most likely thrown over the rail at some point approximately around a year ago. About 6 months ago the door was replaced at that end.
