Dear Colleagues:
I've had multiple conversations with operators concerning the status
of CANTAT-3, a submarine cable that runs from Pennant Point , Halifax,
Canada, to the area of Sylt, DE and branches to locations along the
route:

1. Pennant Point , Nova Scotia Canada
2. Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland
3. Tj=F8rnuv=EDk, Faroe Islands
4. Red car, England, UK
5. Blaabjerg, Denmark
6. Sylt, Germany
Does anyone have formal or published indication from VSNL that
confirms a decommissioning and states an actual date? I've heard this
from several highly reliable sources and I'd like to find out "when"
if at all. I have checked Google.
I'd be very happy to receive any information formally, off line, or
otherwise and summarize back to the list.
Best,
Marty
