submarine cable entering around Indian Ocean, when the yanks realise we
have a choice, then maybe they'll lower the costs, at present there is
no incentive for them to stop ripping us off.
One way to get an alternative route is to convince someone other
then the yanks to put in the cable. Then one end would not be in the US.
the yanks, go in partnership with prime carrier, although as the second
largest carrier has stropng asian ties, we might start to see a change in
the future after all
