BDSNi
BDSNi (Bahamas Domestic Submarine Network international) is a fiber optic submarine communications cable system that links the islands of the Bahamas, and also provides connectivity to Haiti via a spur connection.
Connection to Haiti
As of 2010, BDSNi provided Haiti's only direct fibre-optic connectivity.[1]
The spur connection to Haiti was disrupted by the 2010 Haiti earthquake,[2] with the terminal in Port-au-Prince being completely destroyed.[3]
gollark: Bad idea #12589172598: orbital nuclear power plants.
gollark: Nuclear fission is pretty great too. We should do more of that.
gollark: I mean, orbital launch is not cheap, though in space you benefit from the shorter nights.
gollark: As of now, wouldn't it probably be better to just find some abandoned desert, stick a lot of solar panels there, and somehow run power cables back to somewhere useful?
gollark: Water vapour apparently self-regulates somehow.
