Global Dark Fiber Projects Abound

What is so crazy about a new, large dark fiber build?

Apparently if you look around the world there is nothing crazy about it at all. Some countries may seem to not have enough fiber, others may already have plently, but require more fiber, newer fiber, or fiber in places that have not had it before.

There are many reasons and many examples. Here are a few recent clips from planned and completed builds around the world

China Telecom and RCOM launch first terrestrial China-India cable

Reliance and Bharti aim to build new India-Bangladesh fibre links

CNT to invest USD300m this year

Antel Uruguay selects Alca-Lu consortium for submarine cable network

..yes it's submarine, but it's fiber, DWDM and 3.84 Tb...

BT confirms January 2010 date for FTTC commercial launch

MT to deploy second fibre-optic cable

Telcotech fibre-optic cable to go live by year-end

Subsea, long haul, metro, to the home and beyond - new fiber is being built in just about every segement of the general network architecture and in just about every place in the world.

Is it a "trend"?

No, it is logical... and necessary.
