Over 90 percent of all Europe-Asia traffic flows through cables in the Red Sea. The Far North Fiber project is seeking to offer another option — a 14,500 kilometer cable linking Europe, North America and Asia. Here’s how it would look

1. Looks like a great project! It will be really easy for Russia to “oops” and sabotage it.

2. With nothing significant being done to stop climate change, this will become a more viable option in the future.

3. What would the ping be? 😎

4. 14,5 Mm of optical cable. That’s something. And I know we laid down more than that, but still.
   Fun facts: That is 48,3668 ms delay for the speed of causality. Since it will be light traveling in a medium, I assume that only 80 % of this speed will be achieved. Meaning 60 ms. If you aren’t convinced that speed of causality/light in this universe is painfuly slow, then probably nothing will convince you.
   And just to put things in perspective, modern CPU with 4 GHz clock will go through 12 091 698 cycles. While waiting for LIGHT to travel just this little bit of distance.

5. Good project

6. Great for Arctic data centres

7. We need High Voltage DC cables !

   Africa is closer to Europe.

   The Chinese are blocked from our internet !

   Why do we need Internet cables to China, if they block our websites in China ???

8. WTH IS THAT MAP

9. Does that mean I can finally play LoL with all the eurof****s now? 😀

10. ”Oooop I lost my anchor ⚓️ again….”

11. This map is confusing me.
