Sorry, can‘t help with that. I assume the EU won’t be very interested in building its own network to reduce data loss to the US with a US-company.

My company, Navisio Global, is working with the company that will likely supply the landing stations for the new cables. They have a revolutionary design that combines supercomputing and server cooling. It reduces space requirements to something like 30% and lowers power consumption by about 20%. They’re going on a European sales tour soon. Know anyone that would be interested in speaking with them?

This will make it impossible to solve this problem simply by adding new cables.

So voices are getting louder to build a European backbone thus avoiding our data go through the NSA, FBI, CIA and sister organizations.
