It depends on where in some cases. Take Greenland for example. Prior to Tel=
e Greenland possibly completing the Greenland Connect cable[1] real soon no=
w (Halifax to Nuuk, Nuuk to Iceland, branched to Qaqortoq, with xcon to UK =
and Denmark) I seem to recall that a large amount of their capacity was via=
satellite from Godthab(Nuuk) to Denmark.
In this case, you're likely talking 100%. Almost all of your remote cases a=
re going to be in a similiar situation ie. Svarlsbad, most stuff above t~N6=
0^ parallel (or so) etc.

Subject: Estimate of satellite vs. Land-based traffic
All,
Participting in a severe solar event EXERCISE. Can anyone give me an
educated guesstimate of the percentage of backbone traffic that is
satellite dependent vs. that which is totally land-based?
Thanks
