Meta’s ambitious project represents a significant investment in global connectivity, aiming to lay 40,000 kilometers of undersea cables while navigating complex geopolitical tensions.
The cable, referred to as 'W', will connect the east coast of the U.S. to India, extending to Australia and the west coast of the U.S., indicating a substantial expansion.
Insiders suggest that Meta faces regulatory hurdles in India, where executives will require careful navigation through the approval process before moving forward with the project.
Concerns over geopolitical tensions and the historical incidents of cable sabotage are driving Meta to consider routes that, while safer, may introduce additional latency into their network.
