Fascinating stuff, the really interesting stuff comes when you can zoom right in and see what the cables go past.<p>For example, the cable in the Indian Ocean that goes very close to Diego Garcia, which has a US military base on it. Supposedly the cable doesn&#x27;t have a landing there, but there is some evidence which suggests the cable might actually go through the island.
