Meta confirms it's building its own subsea cable


Meta's Project Waterworth subsea cable will connect five major continents and enable high-speed connectivity for "AI innovation."

The project touches land in the US, Brazil, India, and South Africa, and is apparently breaking new ground technically, too. If cables aren't deep enough, undersea hazards, like boats dropping and dragging their anchors, can cause permanent damage, disrupting service. A United States-India joint statement released after Prime Minister Modi visited the US revealed that India is financially involved in Waterworth, too.
