Meta to build petabit-speed undersea cable linking continents

Meta is building a transoceanic submarine cable capable of petabit-per-second speeds, intended to connect multiple continents. The project, shared by researcher Gabriele Romano, would rank among the largest private internet infrastructure efforts ever undertaken. Interest centres on how the cable could boost global bandwidth and what it signals about major tech firms building their own backbone networks rather than relying on telecom consortia.
Why now: Meta's move into privately owned transoceanic internet infrastructure is a significant shift in how global connectivity is financed and controlled.
