(5) The project of laying the 6,200-mile undersea fiber-optic cable, connecting
the United States to Japan, at $300 million is wonderful. This shows that
it would be 300 / 6,200 = about $50,000/mile, which is about equivalent to the
one between Japan and Siberia — see;

Tak, Abebe:
Saw these two items this a.m.:
1) Web search company Google has agreed to build an undersea cable with five
telecommunications operators that will link the United States to Japan, and
provide the capacity to sustain a surge in Internet traffic between the
continents. Google and the five telecommunications companies said in a joint
statement that the 6,200-mile undersea fiber-optic cable, connecting the
United States to Japan, will cost $300 million. Google's partners in the
consortium, dubbed Unity, comprises Bharti Airtel, Global Transit, KDDI,
Pacnet, and SingTel.
The cable will provide much-needed capacity to sustain unprecedented growth
in data and Internet traffic between Asia and the United States. "The
Unity
cable system allows the members of the consortium to provide the increased
capacity needed as more applications and services migrate online," said
Jayne Stowell, a spokeswoman for the consortium. The consortium said it has
picked NEC and Tyco Telecommunications to construct and install the system,
which is expected to be ready for service in the first quarter of 2010.
