    The distances are consistent with repeaters/op amps. And the chart

    Coincidentally, Telecom Egypt announced a new cable to be built by
    Alcatel-Lucent this morning. TE North, which looks like it's going
    from Egypt to France, is an 8 pair system (128 x 10Gb/s x 8).

    Thanks for your input.
