[Ndr] Transit access on the islands ...

[Nicholas Harland]

AT&T had limited service available in Charlotte Amalie on St Thomas and
people were posting to facebook from it, so it certainly wasn't satellite
uplink.

I personally would prefer not making a lot of contacts until the security
situation on the islands is better, but that's just because I'm going
there.

Attached is a map of the cables in the area, not sure if the list serv
accepts attachments but those on the To will get it.
