Meta quietly building 4,300-mile undersea internet cable
Original: While Everyone’s Debating Muse, Mark Zuckerberg Is Quietly Building a 4,300-Mile Cable Under the Ocean. Here’s What It’s For.
While public attention stays on AI debates, Meta is moving forward with a massive subsea cable project stretching roughly 4,300 miles across the ocean floor. The infrastructure aims to carry enormous volumes of internet traffic between continents, giving Meta greater control over the pipes that carry its apps' data. Observers note the project underscores how tech giants now build core internet infrastructure themselves, rivaling traditional telecom consortiums.
Why now: Interest in how Meta and other tech giants are privately building the world's internet backbone, contrasting AI headlines with quieter infrastructure moves
