Google, Meta’s Request to Use Undersea Data Cable to Asia Get US Government Backing
The Biden administration recommended on Friday that Alphabet’s Google and Facebook parent company Meta obtain permission to use the submarine cable system to handle the growing Internet traffic in Asia. The government urges the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to grant these companies permission to send and receive data on the existing 8,000-mile Pacific fiber optic cable network. The submarine optical cable system connects the United States, Taiwan, the Philippines and Hong Kong.
Submarine cables transmit almost all Internet data traffic. Meta seeks a license to use the Philippines to the United States, while Google requires a license to connect to Taiwan.
The two companies pledged to protect the privacy and security of American data, especially intelligence operations against China. Google and Meta’s plan abandoned the previous proposal to use a network cable to connect to Hong Kong, which is controlled by Beijing. Several U.S. government agencies have recommended blocking the plan in 2020.
The US Department of Justice stated that in view of China’s “continuous efforts to obtain sensitive personal data of millions of Americans,” it needs to reach a national security agreement with Google and Meta.
The Chinese Embassy in Washington and Google did not immediately comment. Google said in 2020 that it needs data connections to handle the growing traffic between its data centers in Taiwan and the United States.
A Meta spokesperson said, “The wired system increases the capacity of the Internet between the United States and the Philippines” to “help people stay in touch and share content.” It said that the cable is safe and the data is protected by advanced encryption.
According to the agreement, Google and Meta must conduct an annual assessment of the risk of sensitive data, and they must be able to limit or stop data traffic on the cable within 24 hours. About 300 submarine cables form the backbone of the Internet and carry 99% of the world’s data traffic.

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3
Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.
The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.
A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.
Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.
It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
