"The rest of the world" is a bit of an overreach, but yes, in a lot of countries they are underground. I would say most cable runs above ground worldwide, but I have nothing to base that on besides traveling a lot.
- aardvark291 8y agomeant to write, "rest of the _civilized_ world". :-) Germany is my main example ... my German friends were astonished when they visited the US to see our rickety electrical infrastructure (among other things).
