Nice development.

As a side note, as a Portuguese person I think they could have found an easier word for non-portuguese speakers. Not sure if the english speakers around the world will be able to say the nasal "em" correctly or with ease.

Probably they won't, but then so what? The consequences of miss pronouncing the name of a subsea cable seem quite mild to me. It is not like you have to pronounce it quick over the radio with no ambiguity allowed to save life or limb. :)
