Google Buys a Piece of a Cable To Japan

Googling Yourself writes "Google announced that they will be part of a six-company consortium that will build a high-bandwidth sub-sea fiber optic cable linking the US and Japan. The new cable system, named Unity, is expected initially to increase Trans-Pacific lit cable capacity by about 20 percent, with the potential to add up to 7.68 Terabits per second of bandwidth across the Pacific. The name Unity was chosen to signify a new type of consortium, born out of potentially competing systems, to emerge as a system within a system, offering ownership and management of individual fiber pairs. Rumors that Google would join the consortium had originally surfaced in September last year but the company had declined to confirm or deny the news."

He's obviously a prolific submitter, but 11 accepted stories (so far in february) using 5 different names, all of which link back to sites he runs.

And using /. to bump up the pagerank of a site he setup to sell his old home...
Isn't that a bit much?

At least Roland submitted under his own name.
