[clug] [OT] Open Access Data: global submarine cable maps

[steve jenkin]

This is a marker of the progress of Open Source.
The source data is expensive ($25,000/report) and the application quite arcane.
[used by Telecomm Engineers organising International Routes]

TeleGeography’s authoritative map of Submarine Cables, as implemented on their site, is available on github as a fully working webserver: 
<www.submarinecablemap.com>

Included are good build instructions and pointers to the geo-data in Google Fusion tables as two overlays (cables & landing points), downloadable as KML or CSV.

Github
<https://github.com/telegeography/www.submarinecablemap.com>

They have commits going back to Sept-2011, if anyone wants to rollback time.
