[AusNOG] Solomon Islands loses landing rights for a cable in Sydney

[Bevan Slattery]

Submarine cable construction rule book.

Rule #1 comply with rules for landing a cable in the territorial waters of any sovereign country you need to land in.

Rule #2 read rule #1

For whatever reason the US and Australia has an issue.  You can accept that, comply with the rules of that nation and land a cable or not.  It's not about fair or not fair, it's about rule #1.
