Transpacific cable is cut, for nowIn light of the problems between the USA and China, and that those in power in Beijing want to grab data from US networks, Google and Facebook have dropped plans to build an undersea cable between the US and Hong Kong. The HK section of the cable is built but will not now be activated due to a national security agreement between the US and Google and Facebook. Also, in another update, Sony offered me more discount on a new pair. I still visit websites that use Flash so those will need to update their code -- unlikely -- or I'll need to use another browser. Australia sits at 62 with Korea surprisingly way down at 100, and with China way, way down at 200.
