So Rarotonga could get a parachute from Pacific Fibre's cable to Los Angeles to Auckland without a whole separate fibre. pacificfibre.net Just spin off some "aquamarine" or "chlorophyll green" from the white light swarming down the line without and unloading the 747 to get a packet of Globalstar calls to a Globalstar gateway for transmission to a satellite half way to Aitutaki where somebody is wanting to phone home and Skype their software developer colleagues.

Pacific Fibre doesn't want to land the 747 anywhere because they want the fastest possible time there and back; milliseconds matter. With a sky blue or yellow coconut colour filtered from the passing traffic, the rest could carry on.

I had assumed a whole separate fibre would need to be run, but this would save a lot of money [assuming a filter isn't too expensive, which it shouldn't be, and that multiple wavelength fibre isn't too expensive compared with regular fibre, which it might be].
