From Songkhla, Thailand FLAG proceeded through the South China Sea to Hong Kong before branching out to Shanghai, China, Koje-do Island in Korea, and two separate landings in Japan. Connecting 13 countries, and carrying up 320,000 messages, the cable passing through this Thai manhole is yet another thread in the economic fabric of globalization. According to the FLAG Telecom Web site, the company's Europe-Asia cable today carries traffic from 60 major international carriers, including AT&T, Cable & Wireless Communications, China Telecom, ETISALAT and Hong Kong Telecom International.
