Helsingin Sanomat – International Edition – Foreign: “Several Finnish experts consider it almost certain that a Russian telecommunication cable will be laid alongside the undersea gas pipeline that is to be set up by Nord Stream in the Baltic Sea.
Such a cable would lead to a considerable decline in the massive volume of Russia’s telecommunications that passes through Finland, and it were to grind to a complete halt.
At present, as much as half of Russia’s entire internet communications are carried via Finnish networks.”
