overThruster writes with a report from TechCentral that "Greg Mahlknecht has built a free map showing the world's submarine telecommunications cable systems. The map, which took Mahlknecht several months to complete, is free of charge and will remain so.'" (At least until it gets shut down as a security threat.)

Who is this Greg Mahlknecht?
A guy who saw that there was a really cool poster that cost money, and decided to make himself a free version. Of course, had he asked the people who sold the poster, he might have found out they have an electronic copy available to download at no cost.
Ah well.
