I wonder how much data per unit of time this is capable of transporting.Wikipedia says "Each segment has a speed of 10 gigabits per second (Gb/s), with a future potential capacity of 2,500 Gbit/s." [1]Wikipedia also notes that NASA helped fund this system.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Undersea_Cable_System parent next_xibalba 2 years ago
