dont forget too that a good part of transatlantic fiber is backhauled through the holland tunnel into lower manhattan, one of many reasons why all the co-los are on the lower west side (in addition to cheap buildings with heavy load capacity). also one of the (again many) reasons i presume the tunnel has remained closed. according to Telegeography, Inc of Washington DC most of the BIG capacity cables like Mercus-1 and TAT14 come ashore in New Jersey around Manasquan. its mostly the older stuff that arrives on Long Island. --- Alex Rubenstein <alex@nac.net> wrote:
