Panel Discussion: Challenges & opportunities in diversified subsea cable routes

Diversification of subsea cable systems and landing stations is being driven by hyperscale demand from Asia to the US. Google is fundamentally changing the dynamics of subsea deployment in Asia-Pacific. This panel will discuss successful navigation of extraordinary supply chain dynamics, the benefits of different business models, how subsea operators have been driven from Hong Kong and Singapore to riskier markets such as Indonesia and Malaysia, how to secure private funding when RFS dates are indefinite and whether OTTs are finally starting to consider their submarine infrastructure as a revenue opportunity.
