The Wall Street Journal reports that Google
Inc is considering a further investment in
a new subsea cable across the Pacific
Ocean.
In 2010, Google tooka stake ina similar $300
million cable and the latest investment is
a result of the increasing amount of traffic
being directed through secure private
networks. Google’s new subsea cable
would connect data centers in Oregon
and Japan.
Much of Google's bandwidth is reserved
for its private B4 network, transmitting
emails, YouTube videos and other data.
The Wall Street Journal report states that
the private network carries more traffic
than the public-facing network, used by
Google to transmit Internet search results.
