The Greenland sea cables are probably being closely monitored, but redundancy seems minimal likely limited to OneWeb satellite connectivity and some VSAT links.
Looking at the routing side, AS8818 announces just two /19s and one /22 (and two /32s in IPv6) with a single upstream provider, Level 3 Inc. This suggests that Layer 3 redundancy is even more constrained.
I would have expected at least one EU-based provider as an additional upstream...

Tech-CEOs umgeben sich zunehmend mit Hofberichterstattung – von sich selbst produziert. Wie „Direct-to-people“-PR den unabhängigen Journalismus ersetzt. Machtfülle trifft Filterblase: Wer die Plattform besitzt, schreibt die Geschichte.
#BigTech #Journalismus
This has allowed me to make clear something that's been at the back of my mind. Something that is at the heart of so much blind stupidity in big tech.
It's the assumption that we will change one thing and all else will be the same.
In this case, we will fire lots and lots of employees all over the world and we will make lots of profit. We're smart enough to make the AI, and we're dumb enough to think that there will only be one consequence. 1/n

Today, I designed, built and launched a small software application within very strict financial, security, hardware and software constraints.
Then I helped people with all levels of tech skill, and different hardware and software configurations, get it running with their own setups.
That's a lot of corporate speak and being vague, but it feels good to have it out in the world helping people: letting them get a very specific thing done better.
