Google lays down fiber, capable of 7.68 terabits per second

Fiber: it’s a major part of communication. Google: a super search engine that is a part of most everyone’s life. Combine the two and what do you get? A Pacific subsea fiber optic cable with the ability to transfer up to 7.68 Terabits of data per second between the United States and Japan. In a press release, Google announced that, along with six international companies, a $300 million undersea fiber-optic cable is going to be routed from the West Coast, including Los Angeles, to Chikura, located near Tokyo.
