Comment on Submarine Cable Mapparent

Comments

FCC regulates them in the US, "Submarine Cable License", they don't just pop out of any document system though. The one I did find:

http://licensing.fcc.gov/myibfs/download.do?attachment_key=9...

Uses Google data to show the locations, along with the lat/long (using the textual lat longs should be fine from a copyright/data license perspective, though I think lots of OSM people would hem and haw about it being in the same document as Google data).

A lot of the filings are ownership updates to existing cables and don't contain any information about the locations of the cables.
