Re: Last Week's Canadian Fiber Cut

[Rod Beck <rod.beck () unitedcablecompany com>]

Unless I am mistaken, that is an old legacy route. I don't think it is a new build. I know at one time Hibernia was 
selling its undersea link from Halifax to Boston as a back up for that route. On the other hand, there have been some 
Canadian carrier builds recently so may be it's not legacy.


Regards,


Roderick
