Facebook and Google (GOOG,GOOGL) are backing two new undersea projects -one in Africa and the other in Asia. The latest collaboration will give the Silicon Valley giants more control of the internet infrastructure that support their businesses and meet growing demand for broadband access and 5G wireless connectivity. More than 400 commercially operated submarine cables currently lie on the ocean floor, carrying data as pulses of light inside thin optical fibers.\n2Africa project: The effort in this region is part of a push to connect the approximately 3.5B people who are still without internet around the world. Facebook's user growth in developed markets like the U.S. and Europe is also slowing, giving it an advantage in Africa, which has an average mobile internet user rate of around 26% (compared to a world average of 51%). The project's plan calls for 35 landings across 26 countries, with the goal of building an underwater ring of fiber optic cables around Africa that would begin operating in 2023.\nApricot: Facebook and Google will also participate in a 7,500-mile-long underwater cable system in Asia that would connect Japan, Taiwan, Guam, the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore. The initiative is scheduled to go live in 2024 and \"will deliver much-needed internet capacity, redundancy, and reliability to expand connections in the Asia-Pacific region,\" said Facebook engineering manager Nico Roehrich.\nBackground: Silicon Valley has made a number of recent infrastructure moves into the subsea cable industry. In June, Google announced a new high-speed subsea cable between the U.S. and Argentina, dubbed Firmina, while Facebook and Amazon last week requested approval from the U.S. government for a new undersea data cable between the Philippines and California. In fact, Google now has investments in 18 subsea cables as global investments in the underwater projects are forecast to exceed $2B a year for the next several years.\nIt's a big business: Telecom operators own many of these cables, charging fees to companies that use them to transfer data. \"If you build your own cable, and you own your capacity, you don't have to pay anybody,\" said Alan Mauldin, an analyst at telecom market research firm TeleGeography. The objective is similar to Amazon's air cargo fleet, which the e-commerce giant started in 2015 to reduce its transportation costs and reliance on third parties.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":831305727,"gmtCreate":1629285529969,"gmtModify":1676529991053,"author":{"id":"3579340169444210","authorId":"3579340169444210","name":"Tygress","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0833a8ce5ec739350942784874a15f01","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3579340169444210","authorIdStr":"3579340169444210"},"htmlText":"Nice job","listText":"Nice job","text":"Nice job","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/831305727","repostId":1113611040,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1113611040","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1629279317,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1113611040?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-18 17:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook, Google deepen undersea cable system with project in Asia","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1113611040","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"It's time to lay some cables.

More than 400 commercially operated submarine cables currently lie on the ocean floor, carrying data as pulses of light inside thin optical fibers.\n2Africa project: The effort in this region is part of a push to connect the approximately 3.5B people who are still without internet around the world. Facebook's user growth in developed markets like the U.S. and Europe is also slowing, giving it an advantage in Africa, which has an average mobile internet user rate of around 26% (compared to a world average of 51%).

The initiative is scheduled to go live in 2024 and \"will deliver much-needed internet capacity, redundancy, and reliability to expand connections in the Asia-Pacific region,\" said Facebook engineering manager Nico Roehrich.\nBackground: Silicon Valley has made a number of recent infrastructure moves into the subsea cable industry. In June, Google announced a new high-speed subsea cable between the U.S. and Argentina, dubbed Firmina, while Facebook and Amazon last week requested approval from the U.S. government for a new undersea data cable between the Philippines and California. In fact, Google now has investments in 18 subsea cables as global investments in the underwater projects are forecast to exceed $2B a year for the next several years.\nIt's a big business: Telecom operators own many of these cables, charging fees to companies that use them to transfer data. \"If you build your own cable, and you own your capacity, you don't have to pay anybody,\" said Alan Mauldin, an analyst at telecom market research firm TeleGeography.
