Cables, Exchanges and Data Centres

The physical side of a country's internet: undersea cables that land there (who owns them, how long they are, where else they go), the internet exchanges where networks connect to one another, and the data centres where they house equipment. A country with few cables or one exchange is easier to cut off and easier to monitor. Cable data downloaded (not built yet); exchange and data-centre data fetched when you search. Refreshed about every 24 hours. Infrastructure only; nothing about individuals or visitors.
