Good luck with the legal work required to patch up Google's physical infrastructure than spans, literally, worldwide. For example, if it owns a cable (or just wavelengths) that connect Asia to Europe, how would you handle that ? It certainly doesn't comply to US territory regulations. Unless of course I'm mistaken which is very likely.
- majewsky 9y agoAn undersea cable will have to comply with the regulations of the connected countries. A regulator can just come and disconnect the part that runs through their jurisdiction if laws are broken.
- quirkot 9y agoYou do realize a cable that connects Asia to Europe could be like 6cm long, right?
- aneutron 9y agoIt's a stupid example I gave, also sometimes the connection has to take the not shortest route due to legal restrictions. So no, not always.
