Was the worlds first transatlantic 155Mbit native IP service brought into
operation by Sprint/USA and Tele2/Sweden.

The circiut wich is part of Sprintlink and ICMnet runs between the 
NY-Nap in Pennsauken, NJ, USA and Tele2 in Sweden and uses cisco 
packet-over-sonet/sdh technology. (Native IP over SDH/VC4)

In 1995 the same team from Sprint and Tele2 brought up the worlds first 
transatlantic E3 service between the same endpoints.
