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

[Paul Brooks]

If you like a bit of cable history, cable stories and cable ships back to 1850s and
earlier.... http://atlantic-cable.com

A great collection of historical international cable maps at
http://atlantic-cable.com/Maps/  (dating back to WAY before Telegeography maps!)

Before the "All Red Line" (1902) was the "Australia China Telegraph" of 1859,
branching off the Australia-India route at Singapore, heading up to Hong Kong.

and of course, circling back to the topic at hand - national security concerns go back
quite a way...
