Actually, it is a big deal. Hibernia is already the only cable system =
that can send Irish traffic directly to North American without =
backhauling to the UK. That's a significantly latency and diversity =
advantage.=20
We can now send traffic directly to the US on both cables without UK =
backhaul and hence provide more physical diversity.=20
It also enables us to serve an underserved market, Northern Ireland, and =
provide low latency and protected services betweeen the UK and Ireland.=20
And we beat the who-whos of telecom in winning this RFP. :)

Is all of this terrestrial network already in place?
