"Now Meta has announced Waterworth, the companyâs plan to build the worldâs longest submarine cable system. It will be Metaâs first single-contract private cable of this scale. It will be built primarily for the companyâs internal consumption. The longest cable in the world will thus be owned by a single Silicon Valley firm.
This shift may be significant to policymakers concerned with concentration in digital markets and infrastructure: not only do Big Tech firms dominate digital platforms and services, but increasingly also the physical underpinnings of the digital world. Rather than renting capacity from infrastructure providers, the firms are vertically integrating infrastructure with their content services. Around 60 new submarine cables are planned up until the year 2027. Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon are all investing in new submarine cable systems.
Waterworthâs route diverges from more established cable corridors. The current longest cable, 2Africa, starts from Europe to circle Africa and the Middle East. Waterworth skips Europe and China to connect the United States directly with major markets in the Southern Hemisphere. Unlike many existing intercontinental cables, Waterworthâs choice of route avoids geopolitical hotspots like the Red Sea and the South China Sea."

Eagle S leaves Finnish waters.
The vessel has been released from custody as the investigation continues. The Cook Islands-flagged Eagle S tanker is suspected of involvement in subsea cable damage in the Gulf of Finland last December.
The ship is thought to be part of Russia's "shadow fleet" of sanctions-busting oil tankers.

Brussels sets out plan to protect undersea cables from hybrid warfare.
The European Commission has outlined its plan to protect undersea critical infrastructure following multiple acts of sabotage on submarine cables in the Baltic Sea.
The plan, prepared "with urgency in mind", is built on four pillars - prevention, detection, response, and deterrence - to ensure the European Union is prepared for the worst.
Undersea cable broken close to Gotland, these are not incidents, we are under attack, that's clear. Although in a low-intensity/hybrid way.
