Global communication since the 1850s has always relied on an expanding web of undersea cables, but this industry has traditionally been lightly regulated and involves a wide range of public and private stakeholders. However, data generation and use is growing exponentially and in ways that make these networks more important than ever. Greater multilateral policy coordination could be necessary, and a good place to begin is with close allies.
Please join Carnegie to hear U.S. and Japanese specialists discuss recent developments in undersea cable development, financing, security issues, and bilateral and multilateral policy coordination. Carnegie’s James L. Schoff will moderate.
