As part of the agreement, Australia allocates $50 million for the project, and the United States – $15 million.

Google will lay undersea fiber-optic Internet cables to at least eight remote islands in the southwest Pacific under an agreement between the United States and Australia. Reuters reported this on October 25.

It was noted that Canberra is allocating $50 million for the project, and Washington – $15 million.

The project involves a cable connection between two US territories – American Samoa and the islands of Guam with Tuvalu, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Fiji, Nauru, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Cook Islands, Wallis and Futuna Islands.

The United States will also assist island states in ensuring cybersecurity and creating backup copies of key information in cloud networks.

Google is currently implementing a fiber optic cable project that will connect Taiwan to the United States and the Philippines. The 15,000 km Bifrost cable system is expected to be completed by 2024.

It was previously reported that China will lay a $500 million undersea internet cable connecting Asia, the Middle East and Europe to compete with a similar US project.
