Add photos and maps of landing stations for Apollo and Yellow at Shirley, NY, Apollo and TAT14 at Manasquan, NJ and TAT14 at Tuckerton, NJ. Information based on cable landing licenses issued by the Federal Communications Commission for US landings of submarine cables. These licenses describe cable owners, routes and landing stations. Some licenses give geographical coordinates of landing stations. Some but not all licenses:

This presents information on northeastern US landing stations of transatlantic cables. The cable systems include legacy wire cables as well as latest fiber-optic. Most cables land at four locations: Lynn, MA; Green Hill, RI; Long Island, NY; and the New Jersey coast from which they connect to legacy telecommunication hubs for landline and microwave distribution. See downtown Manhattan telephone switching hubs:

http://cryptome.org/nytel-eyeball.htm

There are reports that US intelligence agencies have long had access to the cables, hubs and distribution systems. See James Bamford's The Puzzle Palace (1982) on the National Security Agency, and accounts of NSA's capabilities for fiber-optic tapping and signals interception in Duncan Campbell's Interception Capabilities 2000, prepared for the European Parliament. A bibliography of reports: http://cryptome.org/echelon-dc.htm

Two reported US signal interception stations are located at Yakima, WA, on the West Coast, and Sugar Grove, VA, on the East Coast.

Several of the transatlantic telecommunication companies -- Global Crossing, Tyco, Worldcom -- are in financial difficulty due to alleged deceptive accounting practices. Another, Project Oxygen (not the MIT Project Oxygen), which planned a global network, appears to be dormant. Worldcom's beleaguered chairman stated recently that the firm's survival is vital to national security and must not be allowed to fail. Critics and government spokespersons laughed at the hoary, often abused, claim. Though telecommunications firms and regulatory agencies worldwide are eager to provide government access to private communications to reap national security assurance of survival if not luxurious profitability.

Lynn, MA

Fiber-optic cable:

360 Atlantic

http://www.lynndevelopment.com/dei_11_16_00.htm

A Canadian telecommunications company Wednesday formally celebrated the progress of its fiber-optic cable-laying venture that will provide high-speed data transmission between Lynn and Western Europe. Executives from Vancouver-based 360networks gathered at the company’s newly built switching station on Commercial Street. Lynn is key to the success of the $25-million, 7,300-mile cable that stretches from Lynn to Halifax, Nova Scotia, then spans the Atlantic Ocean until it makes landfall again in Dublin, Ireland. The company has invested approximately $10 million in the city, mostly through capital outlay for property acquisition, building construction and laying cable beneath city streets between the landfall near the Nahant traffic circle and the switching station.
