Meta, the digital titan behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is setting sail on a monumental journey to lay a 40,000+ kilometre subsea cable around the globe.
This ambitious $10 billion project aims to ensure Meta's digital empire has the infrastructure to support its ever-growing internet traffic and AI ambitions.
Why is Meta diving into the deep blue? Well, owning this cable will give Meta exclusive access to its data highway, ensuring seamless delivery of content and ads to its billions of users. With Meta’s properties accounting for a significant chunk of global internet traffic, this move is all about keeping the digital wheels turning smoothly.

But it’s not just about keeping the lights on. Meta’s cable route cleverly avoids geopolitical hotspots, ensuring a safer passage for its data. Plus, there’s a whisper of a plan to boost AI capabilities, with India potentially becoming a hub for AI training thanks to its cost-effective compute bandwidth.
While the project is still in its early days, with plans but no physical assets yet, the excitement is palpable. Meta’s subsea cable could redefine digital connectivity, and with India as a key landing point, the potential for growth is immense. So, buckle up, because Meta’s global cable adventure is just beginning!
