Re: LINX

A lot of undersea cables were listed under the US Critical Foreign Dependencies Initiative. That gives you an idea of the importance of them to the USA*. The list was leaked in 2008 to Wikileaks and it's taken this long for UK politicians to spot this weakness?

*Therefore they should be of equal importance to the UK and not just for the intercept value of the traffic carried.
