FRA is one of the reasons why Finland is very close to building another cable to Germany via the Baltic Sea, bypassing Sweden. It's politically very high on the to-do list.
Follow-on project would be to connect it to Asia via the Northwest passage. Russian company is already laying some cable there, but connecting these two is wishful thinking at the moment. On land the cables are already there, reaching from Helsinki to near Russian Murmansk.
