Hi,
I wanted to thank everybody for their feedback. Everything seems to =
correlate with what I have heard - generally Hong Kong and Singapore are =
the major hubs, with Tokyo even being an option even though it is not =
'geographically' close and also possibly there are options in Malaysia.
I think I have what I need for this. I am just a worker-bee on this =
project getting preliminary information for a potential project by a =
client next year, which may not or may not even be a 'go' anyway.
Out of curiosity, I stumbled across this kind of cool map of submarine =
cables - does anybody know if it is very accurate or up to date? If =
nothing else, it is kind of fun to play with since you can slide around =
and zoom in/out with it and stuff.
