New undersea cables planned for arctic passageways, frozen gamers dream of lower pings

According to New Scientist, a pair of lengthy fiber optic wires will be laid through the Northwest Passage above North America, connecting Japan to the United Kingdom. Moreover, a third cable is planned along the Russian coastline, with the longest of these links to purportedly become “the world's longest single stretch of optical fiber.” A number of outfits are on the list to help out, and when complete, the latency between Tokyo and London should be reduced between 168ms and 230ms. The cost for such luxury. An estimated $600 million to $1.5 billion for each line.
