Great picture. What about security? How are we preventing terrorist luddites from knocking out global internet access?

I enjoyed seeing subsea cable connectivity from Norway to Spitzbergen!

It’s my understanding that this summer there will be 3 new cables London-Tokyo direct, 1 via Canada’s NW passage, 2 via Russia’s Northern Sea Route. Paid for by high speed trading. First arctic cables ever. I didn’t see them on the map.

Try the link in the second paragraph, “new cables coming online in 2012 and 2013, according to TeleGeography.”

And the link to http://submarine-cable-map-2012.telegeography.com/ results in a page with a more detailed map that can be resized. Nice. More detail.
