It would be pretty amazing to put servers undersea in the middle of an ocean for transaction efficiency reasons -- say between NYC and LON directly on the straight line path.
The crazy thing is there probably are financial market applications/HFT where having processing power exactly equidistant between to market centers with the most efficient path would make sense. (Running microwave instead of fiber, to get 1c vs. 2/3c, would also be interesting, but there are different engineering challenges there.)
Amazed Microsoft didn't mention this.
