If Pacific Light Cable Network is not approved, it will endanger more US-Hong Kong submarine communication cables
(22 Jun) As Pacific Light Cable Network (PLCN) is under the threat of being block by the United States, it may impact many submarine communication cables that are under construction across the Pacific, including HKA invested by Facebook and BtoBE invested by Amazon. Most of them involve participation of Chinese state-owned telecommunications companies, for example, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecommunications Corporation.
//HKA (Hong Kong-America) announced the construction plan in February 2018, which was jointly invested by Facebook, China Telecom, China Unicom, Tata, Telstra and RTI Cable.
//BtoBE (Bay to Bay Express) was jointly invested by China Mobile, Facebook and AWS... It branches to Chung Hom Kok, Hong Kong; Changi, Singapore; and Cherating, Malaysia. The total capacity is 108Tbps and it is expected to be available in 2021.
//...recommended that the FCC reject the PLCN application for operation. HKA and BtoBE are heavily invested by Chinese state-owned telecom companies, and this might lead to stronger resistance in approving the operation application.
