IET - Into the Light, by David Sandham
Google has combined with other companies to build a trans-Pacific fibre-optic cable called Unity. According to Rawle, Google had the idea because it is building a server farm in Malaysia which it needs to connect to the US. “They went into the market but could not get the price they wanted so came up with the idea of a mini-consortium,” he says. Unity will be built by Tyco and NEC for $300m and will provide 4.8Tbit/s.
