RE: $1.5 billion: The cost of cutting London-Tokyo latency by 60ms

I'd be quite interested in seeing the MTTR for a sub-ice cable break which happened in late october.

Well, you won't have to worry about people dragging anchor across the cable. Other than earthquake or volcanic eruption, I can't imagine what would damage a cable that time of year in that location. It would be interesting if they put some sensors on those cables to monitor ocean salinity and temperature at those depths, too.
