[governance] FYI - ITU

[Jean-Louis FULLSACK]

some answers to the questions raised 

In general, intercontinental or continental submarine cables are laid in internationl waters and a link is derived from a repeaters or an additionnal joint box to the landing station site of the country concerned. 
Festoon (submarine) cables are hopping from country to country and are agreedd upon by the respective gouvernments (generally through their regulators).

This isn't true : SAT-3/WASC is in operation since May 2003. And before that, there was SAT-2 and SAT-1 ... in a former life  In the meantime, MainONE and Glo-1 are in service and others are ready to be lit.
So, please, update your database 

Cheers
