Internet outages in Africa due to “damaged cables”. Lots of choke-points globally for data traffic; this stuff is a lot less chunky than a Nordstream pipe.
Not sure how much resilience Starlink adds as I’m sure their ground stations are using the fibre trunk networks, but hopefully there’s some useful network decentralization effects building.
