#BlueRaman: @Google’s Plan to Connect #India to #Saudi Arabia via #Israel with #FiberOptic Network for First Time

The project link­ing In­dia to Eu­rope is Google's lat­est globe-cross­ing in­ter­net con­struc­tion ef­fort. The Al­pha­bet Inc. sub­sidiary is vy­ing with Face­book Inc. to build more net­work ca­pac­ity to sup­port its surg­ing user de­mand for videos, search re­sults and other prod­ucts. Ex­panded con­nec­tiv­ity be­tween Eu­rope and In­dia would also help Google roll out data cen­ters glob­ally and catch up to ri­vals Mi­crosoft Corp. and Ama­zon.­com Inc. in the busi­ness of on-de­mand cloud-com­put­ing.
