Low latency routes like this would be very attractive to financial firms trading in both Europe and Asia. My hunch is that most of these circuits are linear - unprotected. And if you get damage in Siberia or Northern China repairs could be mighty slow.

The new AAE-1 will have 40Tbps connections from Europe to Hong Kong so hopefully the routes will start to migrate in 2016 and give us an Easterly route to APAC that has enough capacity to be stable in that direction
I think this stability is key, I’ve been watching a testing team go round and round with a telco that seems to think that 1 second hits is acceptable through this area and they are unwilling to resolve it and seem to be begging “please just accept the circuit”. - Jared This e-mail and any attachments thereto is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may be proprietary and/or legally privileged.
