As far as I know, submarine data cables are highly strategic. You can see on the map linked they are only few of them but carrying 99% of the information between continents. I am certain it would be pretty hard to guess their position, so even Janko proposal may be hard to achieve, unless you tag the 'Apollo' cable ends at the Lannion (F) and and Shirley (NY) townhall.

I think only cable starts and ends should be mapped, and tagged in a standardised way. If that is all we have, that is all we should map. Then cable starts and ends could be put in a relation with a name, number and tags like that.

            Maybe you could get in contact with user:Bahnpirat that
            does a lot of
            work concerning Powerlines, so I guess he is interested in
            communication
            lines, too.

    Just means that this is authentic and so just give it try :)


            Do you dare to contact that company, Pierre? Would be great!


        I can try to contact this company, but my english is medium
        (i'm french
        speaker).
        But Toby is probably right, the only real (acurate)
        geographical dat is
        start and end point of this cables.

    Yes of course, but isn't this the principle of OSM? Start with
    something raw and improve it step by step :D
