I wonder if melting ice is making this easier to do or more economically feasible than it has been in the past?
I vaguely remember reading that there were shipping routes that would be half the time and distance if the ice was melted... And some ships run during the summer months... Mostly from Russia to Europe... Iirc...
How does that compete with starlink? I suppose the bandwidth of a subsea cable is much higher, but latency is worse?

There's no reason for a subsea cable latency to be worse than starlink, both don't go in the straightest line possible but close to that.
