They came, they saw, they busted some myths.
Tim Stronge and Alan Mauldin—better known as the TeleGeography Mythbusters—returned to SubOptic to detonate another set of subsea cable falsehoods.
Armed with a PowerPoint, statistics, and a dream, the duo exploded such telecom myths as:
- The U.S. remains at the center of the global internet
- Bandwidth prices will be the same everywhere
- Elon Musk’s satellites will put undersea cables out of business
- And that old chestnut: a majority of internet traffic is “adult content”
