#Underwatercables, vital for global #internetconnectivity, are experiencing a surge in investment, particularly from #techgiants like Meta, Amazon, and Google, who are building their own cables to support #AIdevelopment and data centre networks. This increased demand is driven by the need for faster, more reliable connectivity for data-intensive AI models. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/08/big-tech-ai-underwater-cables.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news
