Tunnel linking New York to London!

Just done a search and didn't find anything but sorry if this is a re-post.

It's a 'tunnel' linking New York to London, like a webcam but with no sound and just optical fibres. You can see through it to the other side and communicate with words.

Seems pretty cool.

Ah no 'London' 'New york' or 'tunnel' in their post, didn't spot that. Apologies.

Is it a tunnel or a telescope? Never heard anything of this before. It doesn't mention much of the construction in that article either.

Neither, it's a gimmick.

An HD video link apparently. Nothing special really.

Yes, that makes more sense.

Waste of money in that case tbh.

If someone pays me enough I'll go stand with an OcUK sign at the NYC end.

That'd be cool, or graffiti OCUK on a wall opposite...

It's begging for a mooning.
