Google officially launches Equiano subsea cable
What does 'launch' mean when it comes to these cables. It is ready for use? Already has data flowing through?

I'm speculating but that must mean data flowing through. If I understand correctly, capacity is leased to other tiers of the network. So "launched" would presumably mean that capacity is actively being sold and used now.
