This map shows almost all of the internets tubes

You probably know that the data travels over the Internet not only by radio waves or satellite signals. In fact, the overwhelming majority of them are passing under the ocean through submarine cables. It would be interesting to see the location of all these cables, but until now there was a unified map to show them.



The programmer Greg Mahlknecht undertook to create a named Greg's Cable Map, based on information he could find in Wikipedia and the web in general. It is not complete, but the amount of information is already considerable. Still, Greg asks that everyone help by correcting it or by entering more information.
