Yep, heard about a week ago, sadly though one of the partners is one of 
the the rip-off merchants,  but i'm sure Google will make sure the price 
is much fairer than what we have to pay now if it goes ahead.

What we need to see is an alternative cable route, all routes but a couple 
go to the US, one goes to NZ then US, one goes to HK then US, what I'd 
love to see is a direct link into EU, via HK or via another new 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.
