Laser path across the Atlantic
Difficulty 4 of 5
London to New York: the subsea fiber takes 29.5 ms one way. Keep two of the four ground stations (2,500 USD/mo each, budget 6,000) and draw a laser path. Each 10 ms, 200 trades and 100 MB of replication leave London. Trades need a median under 28.5 ms; nothing may be lost.
