Finishing Internet Research

Still needed to finalize which backbones would we be heading off to in Tephra for the other locations and if there wasnt any around

South America, Brazil - RedClara



This looks the best picture ive been able to find of a south American backbone so it figures to set the level here in Brazil as it seems to be the root of most of the network.

North America, Denver - Qwest


North America have a lot of backbones (Obviously) but i found this image and as you can see the yellow ones are although not totally dominating the continent they are found usually quite dense all over and are the most common at least

Yellow is Qwest and apparently their main HQ is in Denver..so thats where the North America enviroment will be.



Africa, Central African Republic - Unknown

Couldnt really find anything out about Africa as i guess not many of the countries will have an actual underground backbone and places where there are internets is probably sent wirelessly, i will use this in my story. The idea would be for Africa you dont go and reconnect an existing backbone but you instead go to a specific point in the continent while other members go to other areas and you all deploy a small device that acts as wifi tower only much more advanced and not interupted by the volcanic smoke providing they are positioned correctly

So your spefic job will be to find the correct place in "Central African Republic" ive look at some photos of this place and if i have the time id really like to make something up for this enviroment using the CryEngine as i think it looks perfect.



Antartica

Started off as a bit of a joke and just being used as a way to reach another part of the Earth but i think in the future with the population getting out of hand its possible larger towns may be popping up in these places just to accomodate people with the right technology im sure it could be habitable

But i would imagine they would also rely on satellites so coming here would probably be a similar job to Africa of not reconnecting an existing set up but providing your own.


Japan, Tokyo - IIJ



This is the only image i could find for Asian internet backbones but it looks like the choices for levels are Tokyo or Osaka, althought a bit cliched that this game takes you to a lot of "major" cities i think it has to stay this way as landmarks will be more well known.
