Owning the cable gives them serious strategic advantage

The Maryland to Ireland route is deliberate. US East to EU West is the highest traffic corridor for enterprise cloud. Amazon just turned their biggest variable cost into a fixed asset they control.

$AMZN ’s new transatlantic Fastnet cable gives AWS something priceless: speed and autonomy. By bypassing third party carriers, Amazon can cut costs, boost network reliability, and position AWS for the next AI data surge. Every millisecond saved across the Atlantic is another competitive edge in global cloud dominance.

Makes sense they'd want full control vs leasing capacity. But the Ireland endpoint is interesting - they're basically betting on transatlantic traffic staying heavy even as edge computing pushes workloads local. Hedge or late play?

About time, Google had done this over a decade ago.

Exciting move for Amazon with the Fastnet cable project. This investment in infrastructure complements their recent $38B partnership with OpenAI, further solidifying AWS's dominance in AI. With strong earnings and rising price targets, AMZN seems poised for more growth ahead.

How do they fix it if a shark bites the cable 2000 feet underwater

Amazon’s move into subsea cables with Fastnet is a big step for its infrastructure. It could boost global connectivity and support its cloud services growth.

Initially data centers will be prolific in the United States and countries around the world will be using these companies servers, and then as a Next Generation gpus come out systems will cycle depending on costs and reusabilities.
