Information Madness

We have heard many times in the news that coutries are having issues with Internet connections because "Under the Sea" cables were broken. Reliance Globalcom, Europe India Gateway and many other giant telecom providers across the world have huge investment in installing those hundreds of thousands of submarine cables under the sea.

So far we only heard about those but now we can actually see those cables including the cable’s name, ready-for-service (RFS) date, length, owners, website, and landing points.

The Submarine Cable Map is a free resource from TeleGeography. Data contained in this map is drawn from Global Bandwidth Research Service and is updated on a regular basis.

This Submarine Cable Google Map depicts 188 active and planned submarine cable systems and their landing stations. Selecting a cable route on the map provides access to data about the cable, including the cable’s name, ready-for-service (RFS) date, length, owners, website, and landing points. Selecting a landing point provides a list of all submarine cables landing at that station.
