TL;DR

Meta plans to invest over $10 billion in building a 40,000+ kilometer subsea cable, becoming the sole owner and user of this infrastructure. This project aims to support Meta's growing internet traffic needs and ensure reliable global connectivity, while avoiding geopolitical tensions. The cable will span from the U.S. to India via South Africa and Australia, forming a "W" shape. This move reflects a shift in subsea cable ownership from telecoms to tech giants, with potential implications for AI development in India.
