The Quest for The Graphical Web Yulbiz Montréal Infographic: The 550,000 Miles Of Undersea Cabling That Powers The Internet They seem so brittle. Cables that are a little more than two inches thick line our ocean floors, culminating in over half a million miles in length, transmitting terabytes of data across the globe every second. What about satellites? As of 2006, they represented just 1% of telecommunications traffic. Click to enlarge. The Submarine Cable Map, by telecom research firm TeleGeography, is a vintage rendition of the worldwide network that drives our communications infrastructure today. "The beautiful hand-drawn details found on old maps have always fascinated me and are sorely missing from contemporary cartography,” designer Markus Krisetya explains. The result is gorgeous, like some combination of classic cartography and a modern tube map, or maybe a circuit board diagram. Interestingly enough, the map hides some other big pieces of data near the bottom of the print. If you’d like a map of your own, 36-by-50-inch prints are available now for $250. Buy one here.

It states that its mission is "to promote the open development, evolution and use of the Internet for the benefit of all people throughout the world".[1] The Internet Society has its headquarters in Reston, Virginia, United States,[2] (near Washington, D.C.), and offices in Geneva, Switzerland.

Many of the main forces of the Internet, such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), remain very informal organizations from a legal perspective.
