When I was working with Svalbard, Internet connectivity was through a satellite link at about 2.5 degrees elevation looking through a notch in the mountains. I don't think it has changed

It depends on where in some cases. Take Greenland for example. Prior to Tele Greenland possibly completing the Greenland Connect cable[1] real soon now (Halifax to Nuuk, Nuuk to Iceland, branched to Qaqortoq, with xcon to UK and Denmark) I seem to recall that a large amount of their capacity was via satellite from Godthab(Nuuk) to Denmark.In this case, you're likely talking 100%. Almost all of your remote cases are going to be in a similiar situation ie. Svarlsbad, most stuff above t~N60^ parallel (or so) etc.[1] Tele Greenland IT News Item (see last paragraph, Brian Buus Pedersen is Tele's CEO)Best, Martin Hannigan -- Martin Hannigan http://www.verneglobal.com/ Senior Director e: hannigan () verneglobal com Verne Global Datacenters c: +16178216079 Keflavik, Iceland f: +16172347098 ________________________________________ From: Kevin.Smith () dca state fl us [Kevin.Smith () dca state fl us] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 15:34 To: nanog () nanog org Subject: Estimate of satellite vs. Land-based traffic All, Participting in a severe solar event EXERCISE. Can anyone give me an educated guesstimate of the percentage of backbone traffic that is satellite dependent vs. that which is totally land-based?
