They're still around and operating. However, even with Global Crossing's network, there isn't enough trans-pacific capacity to the right places from the right places. | |

Don't we have enough china goods besides spam?
Why not spend the money on 11,000 miles of fiber to some of the desparately needed communities in the US. | |

Verizon added 25,000 miles of backbone fiber in 2007 in the US. And that doesn't include FTTH local fiber. » www.hardwarezone.com/news/view.p···66&cid=5This year Verizon Business marked the halfway point in its deployment of the 50,000-mile, all-optical ultra long haul (ULH) U.S. network.
Check out Verizon's long haul worldwide fiber network here in this map:

kudos:1 | China? Exactly how much of the internet is or is not censored/blocked by the Chinese government? I always thought that they had really tight controls, so why the need for so much bandwidth for China? Maybe Chinabound  will chime in and give an opinion....

Don't forget the little bits of info about the links to South Korea and Taiwan included in this pipe. They both have a very large high bandwidth internet community. And both do a tremendous amount of business with US companies.
Also, the new fiber cable adds redundant and alternate network paths to other Asian countries as well as Verizon continues work on transforming its Trans-Pacific network in to a mesh network instead of a ring network. »www.hardwarezone.com/news/view.p···66&cid=5

Its not as tight as the media suggests, its just really enforced at public places where majority of Chinese use internet. Just like if you use public library here they enforce certain things. | |

| | Missing the point Commerce is global...VZ(MCI) had this in place for awhile. It is merely a means of connecting the world, in more ways than one(redundancy), and a logical move for a Tier I provider. China's not stealing any jobs(no outsourcing), pure economic bliss in the Internet/Data age...No taking over of shipping ports like Hutchison Whampoa proposed, yet. | |

Portland, OR | Why Oregon? I find it interesting that they'd land the US side of that cable in Oregon. My first choice would be Seattle. Portland doesn't have any major internet PoP like Seattle does. In fact if you look at major cable routes, Portland traffic frequently goes to seattle before leaving the pacific northwest.

Portland doesn't have any major internet PoP like Seattle does. In fact if you look at major cable routes, Portland traffic frequently goes to seattle before leaving the pacific northwest. They already have a trans-Pacific cable terminating in Seattle. I suspect that the new cable is terminating in Portland in order to further their plan of creating a trans-Pacific mesh network.

Banks, OR | There are already 4 cables that land at Nedonna Beach - 1 transpacific, 1 to Hawaii, 1 to Alaska and one to California. There's an existing right of way to a big switching center in Hillsoboro, and Verizon already has alot of infrastructure in the area.
The ironic thing is, the right of way goes right through my neighborhood; 100's of Gbps flow through here, and none of us can get DSL from Verizon! I'm surpirsied no one's had a backhoe "accident" out of spite! | |

Portland, OR | Re: Why Oregon? That's really interesting. How did you find out about the backbone in your area, or the switching center in Hillsboro? Is there a map or something of where this stuff is? I'd love to read about the various locations and such.

The Tillamook Railroad right-of-way extends all the way to Hillsboro, but there's no map or mention in these pages of where the switching station is. | |

Austin, TX | How do they do it? It would be interesting to see the technical specs of this feat. I didn't think you could do a 11,000 mile fiber run without a repeater or two. How do they shield the cable from the huge pressure built up at immense huge depths under the ocean? | |

Be forewarned, though: this was produced by the same UN Specialized Agency that most commentors on the website seen to think is currupt, incomponent, anti-American, and all-around worthless. Never mind that, as shown by this example, it has enabled global telecommunications .... | |
