Amazon is investigating the possibility of creating a transatlantic subsea fibre optic cable that would stretch from Ireland to the US East Coast.
Filings with Ireland’s Maritime Area Regulatory Authority reveal that Amazon wants to run a cable stretching from County Cork in the south of Ireland to an unconfirmed US site.
Amazon’s maritime usage licence application requests that the company conduct geophysical surveys in Castlefreke, Long Strand, and Ireland’s exclusive economic zone, which extends some 200 miles from the coast.
