Why, you ask? Because the latest and greatest TeleGeography Submarine Cable map is now available.
The 2018 edition, which is sponsored by Telecom Egypt, depicts 366 cable systems and 1,006 landing stations that are currently active, under construction, or expected to be fully-funded by the end of 2020.
