Google builds its own subsea cable from the US to France
Google, like all major internet companies, often participates in building new subsea cables because it wants to own the connectivity between its data centers around the world.
Those cables are typically built and owned by a consortium of companies (and sometimes shared by competitors).
Now, however, Google is building its own cable that will span from Virginia Beach in the U.S. to the Atlantic coast of France.
