"A deep dive into Internet infrastructure, plus a rare visit to a subsea
cable landing site."

Wired did a similar story a few years ago, but here's an up-to-date
overview of the physical infrastructure of the Internet today.

Via Steven Vaughan-Nichols, who added: "Here's another story I wish I'd
written."

Share and enjoy,
