The company Meta, owned by Mark Zuckerberg, announced a new project to build a submarine cable that crosses the world to continue its development and strengthen its presence in the market.
Although it is in its initial stage, Meta has indicated that it is “a submarine fiber optic cable of more than 40,000 kilometers” that will have an investment of $2,000 million.
“Meta is expected to offer more information at the beginning of next year, including the route of the cable and its capacity. When it is finished, the submarine cable will offer Meta a direct and exclusive connection for data traffic worldwide,” they have indicated.
Meta is the second-largest driver of Internet traffic worldwide through its fixed and mobile network facilities.
The project could exceed $10 billion as it progresses, as the cable is expected to follow “a W-shaped route, connecting the US East Coast to India via South Africa, and then returning to the US West Coast via Australia.”
