China Unicom Group, one of China's major telecommunications operators, has revealed plans for the construction of a nearly 3,000-kilometer-long submarine optical fiber cable, which will span from Hong Kong to Sihanoukville in southern Cambodia. Recently, a centralized procurement project of a provincial China Unicom company was announced to be terminated. Why was it suddenly terminated? On December 2, China Unicom's provincial branch issued a bidding announcement for the centralized. In February, American subsea cable company SubCom LLC began laying a $600-million cable to transport data from Asia to Europe, via Africa and the Middle East, at super-fast speeds over 12,000 miles of fiber running along the seafloor. That cable is known as South East Asia–Middle East–Western. This interactive submarine cable map shows global undersea and underwater fiber optic cables connecting continents and countries worldwide.
