III. Networks
Notes: Capacity figures denote
lit, protected capacity at the end of the respective year. Projected
capacity assumes cables with upgradeable capacity will increase
total cable capacity 20 percent each year until fully upgradeable
capacity is achieved. Intra-Asia capacity includes cables with
landings in both Hong Kong and Japan. Trans-Pacific capacity
excludes Southern Cross and PacRim East. Trans-Atlantic capacity
excludes Atlantis-2. Cables retired prior to year-end 2003 excluded
from Fully Upgraded capacity.
