Existing internet cables that run between the U.S. and Europe are ageing and need to be upgraded to meet future capacity requirements.announced Tuesday it intends to set up a new undersea fiber-optic cable between the U.S., the U.K., and Spain as part of an effort to improve its services.
"It also marks our first investment in a private subsea cable route to the U.K., and our first-ever route to Spain," Koley said. "The Spanish landing point will more tightly integrate the upcoming Google Cloud region in Madrid into our global infrastructure." The cable will run along the ocean floor from New York to the Cornish seaside resort town of Bude in the U.K. and Bilbao in Spain. It will run 6,250 km from the U.S. to the U.K. and 6,300 km from the U.S. to Spain.

Google declined to say how much the new cable is costing the company.Subsea cables ferry 98% of international internet traffic around the world. These cables make it possible to share, search, send and receive information around the world at the speed of light.
"Naturally, investment into infrastructure is a major priority, particularly as connectivity becomes an ever-increasing necessity going forward," Meyer said.
