Comment on If Russia takes out all the Internet cables like the news is saying. How much of that traffic can be re-routed to satellite?

  Everyone is talking about this like it would be a snow day or something.

  You’re right - it would be a catastrophe. I think companies that could function in any way without offshore servers of some kind would be a rarity.

  The question is, exactly how much impact could Russia have. Enough that we couldn’t route around it? Probably not.
