Google and five other large companies are teaming up to build a cable under the Pacific Ocean that will deliver unbelievably fast internet speeds.
The cable, named“Faster” will connect the US with Japan and cost about $300m (£179m; 225m euros), the consortium said.
The trans-Pacific fibre cable would deliver speeds of 60 terabytes per second – enough to send more than 2,000 uncompressed HD films a second.
The cable will be operational by 2016.
Google is working with five Asian telecoms giants i.e. China Mobile, China Telecom, Global Transit, KDDI, and SingTel.
