Worlds first transatlantic 155Mbit native IP service

On Monday 23 September 1996 00:15 UTC,

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

The circuit which 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)

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