WASHINGTON, Aug 17 ― Google and Facebook yesterday unveiled plans for a new undersea internet cable connecting Singapore, Japan, Guam, the Philippines, Taiwan and Indonesia.
The project announced by the US firms and regional and global partners “will deliver much-needed internet capacity, redundancy, and reliability to expand connections in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Facebook engineering manager Nico Roehrich. Earlier this year the companies announced another cable project dubbed Echo connecting the United States, Singapore, Guam and Indonesia.
“Together they'll provide businesses and startups in Asia with lower latency, more bandwidth, and increased resilience in their connectivity between Southeast Asia, North Asia and the United States,” Koley added.
Thanks PN govt. Busy politicking and miss an excellent opportunity.
