[OSM-talk] Internet cable map

[yvecai]

As far as I know, submarine data cables are highly strategic. You can 
see on the map linked they are only few of them but carrying 99% of the 
information between continents.
I am certain it would be pretty hard to guess their position, so even 
Janko proposal may be hard to achieve, unless you tag the 'Apollo' cable 
ends at the Lannion (F) and and Shirley (NY) townhall.
