// But How and where do they connect to backbones within the United States?

// this is an answer example from another student

Canada’s basic internet infrastructure “rely on north to south transit pipes that travels through the United States” (“Canada’s Internet Infrastructure”). This structure is good for the interconnections between the two countries, but it is an inefficient way for the data to move along within the country (“Canada’s Internet Infrastructure”). Canada has introduced a “internet exchange point” into their infrastructure which has improved their performance, cost, content, and strength (“Canada’s Internet Infrastructure”). El Salvador’s internet infrastructure is one of the least developed in Latin America; they were the final country in Latin America to implement “LTE services” (“El Salvador Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband”). This was possible due to the increase of “fixed-line teledensity” (“El Salvador Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband”). According to the submarine cable map online, there a lot of cables coming from the U.S and connecting all around the world (PriMetrica). There isn’t a single cable connecting to El Salvador which shows how underdeveloped it is (PriMetrica). However, more cables connections are attached to Canada, although it is not as many as the U.S (PriMetrica).

Another example:

China has three different tiers of exchange points. Starting with the National Level which are points that are connected to the World Wide Web. Second is Metropolitan Area Network which are the local and municipal internet traffic. And the Core level which are located in Shenyang, Xi’an. It connection with the US backbone is through it Trans Pacific Express cables-TPE, New Cross Pacific and Pacific Light Cable Network system.

we have no direct line connections to China (CUCN accomplished this in the past but was since discontinued). instead having to be routed through either Japan or Taiwan’s network infrastructure hubs first (Utilizes (TPE)).
