   Did you read about (or were you the one that posted about?) the trans-Arctic   
   cables they're installing?  Supposed to cut down on London-Tokyo latency.

   Not that I object to real improvements in diversity, but didn't a whole   
   bunch of companies go bankrupt trying to be the [1st|2dn|3rd...nth] company

   And, since I brought that up, for anyone who's interested, here's a video   
   tour of Peer1's newest data centre:

   video of them building it.)
