Asia to Get New Submarine Cable Links to U.S.
Stuart Comer writes on ITWire.com.au:
Asia Netcom has announced plans to built two new submarine cable links between Asia and the USA, expanding its regional submarine cable system, East Asia Crossing (EAC).More here.
The new 23,500 km link - EAC Pacific expected to be completed by July 2008 - will extend the existing infrastructure with a new trans-Pacific ring. It will consist of a northern route connecting Japan to the US, and a southern route linking the Philippines to the US via Guam and Hawaii. EAC Pacific will also include a subsea link between the Philippines and Japan, which will close the ring design and integrate the trans-Pacific infrastructure with the current system.
The move follows the announcement yesterday by Asia Netcom's parent company, Connect Holdings, of a takeover bid for regional Internet service provider - Singapore based Pacific Internet.
