In regards to new Q about eric schmidt, google, north korea amd private emails- did you know google laid their own private fiberoptic cable across the pacific in 2011????

Google will be joining forces with five East Asian companies to build a 9,000-km (6,000 mile) fiber-optic underwater cable that will span the Pacific Ocean, connecting the West Coast of the U.S. to two cities in Japan. The $300 million project aims to address the needs of rising Internet usage along the trans-Pacific route.
