Google has announced a plan to build a new, 3,915-mile-long transatlantic subsea cable between the US, the UK and Spain to meet growing connectivity demands. The fibre-optic link — which is expected to be completed in 2022 — will be Google's first privately-owned connection between the US and the UK. Linkers are computer system programs that connect multiple object files, converting them into a library, executable or larger object file. The Curie project will be the first time that Google has invested in a subsea cable route to Spain — a connection which is intended to more closely integrate the firm's upcoming cloud region in Madrid with its global infrastructure. The new connection is being laid with the help of subsea cable provider SubCom, of Eatontown, New Jersey.
