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

If they could armor the cable sufficiently perhaps they could drill the straigh line path through the Earth's crust (mantle and outer core) and do London-Tokyo in less than 10,000km.

I suggested this once when it was decided that the latency from California to the UK was too high and that I should reduce it. The company wouldn't go for it, though. G
