- The ocean is home to more than 700,000 miles of submarine cables that carry the internet worldwide. This crucial infrastructure is at the center of a development race between the big tech companies amidst geopolitical rivalries between the world’s most powerful nations. CNBC’s Tom Chitty explains.

I've worked in a Tier 1 ISPs for years and that Georgian woman scavenging for copper is still my favorite internet outage story
Do Huawei routers pose a security threat me i.e stealing my internet traffc?
Mr X Just asking a question, stop being childish.
@@jaybariya9 It's possible, but there has not been any concrete evidence of it. Mr X is not wrong either, they would not risk their business reputation to monitor insignificant individuals. Also they cannot "steal" any of it, they could possibly be tapping it, like what the US is doing with PRISM.
Hi Thomas, genuine question... From what we know, 3G, 4G and 5G basically revolves on which frequency the data travel through transmission to us. (Base station to user). But in terms of transocean transmission, is there any significant differences?
@Michael Chater 5g is not doing anything bad but giving you a faster internet connection. Just chill and stay off twitter and facebook read some relevant articles written by actual scientist
I used to work for AT&T and would visit one of these stations in Rhode Island on the coast. The building was 4 stories underground and was nuclear blast protected. It was like something out of a movie.
My prof once told me that once something crazy happening like nuke blast, u can rely on grid. It must be what is embedded on the soil or deep seawater. No i understood the reason behind it. Thx for ur sharing.
Have you ever been to Samsung city?
In Vietnam, whenever there's an interruption with the transmission, our ISPs always blame those sharks.
poor sharks..
shark attack but the gamers
Starlink: Where we're going we don't need cables
@gaming site A project like starlink will be the next big change for humanity. Not self driving cars, not traveling to mars, not amazon. Widespread access to information will redistribute people and wealth and allow greater widespread opportunity and education than the world has ever known. Thats my guess. Lot of rich people moving to remote places that previously had little communication infrastructure.
Think about how much the internet and cellphones have already changed the world. Imagine once EVERY ONE is connected.
@@doggodoggo3000 everyone connected for nothing is awesome ..equality like
you do know that ground stations that relay signals to the satellites also use Fibre optic cables. Where do you think datacenters that host the servers are ? In the cloud? LOL
Starlink uses Level 3 ground cables lol
This video talking about undersea internet cables has been sent through and undersea internet cable to us.
Wait, aren't internets connected via satelites!?
@@Jumptohistory Some but the majority goes through Fiber Optic Cables under the sea to different countries. Search the submarine cable map online to see them.
Wow mind is blown. So cable is actually undersea. Meanjng we never went to space to install satellites, like what some conspiracy theories suggest
We still rely on cable after all
What an enlightenment.. I thought all this time it's the satellite that does all the works. Thanks CNBC!
Yep, and prior to 1990 satellites did all the work and the undersea analogue coaxial cable was predominantly for redudndancy
Satellite 🛰️ are powered by helium balloons.
Tom enjoying reporting from the seaside
US: oh no you can’t do bad things to us only we do it to other people
US: we invented all these, so we kinda reserver the right to make and change the rules
World with out US , our lives will be entirely different.
Half of the technology you use was created in America.
Too true
@@canaldofred2366 and made in China, including your iPhone
I'm surprised you didn't mention Tata Communications which owns 500,000 kilometres (310,000 mi) of subsea fibre and more than 210,000 kilometres (130,000 mi) of terrestrial fibre. They carry 30% of the world's internet routes. I think that makes their network bigger than Google, Facebook, and Microsoft combined.
Wow! Didn't knew about that... Now I can relate to the high valued stock prices of Tata communications!
Didn't you hear properly that google and facebook owns 50% of the cable so it means tata is smaller than they combined fool
@@nishant54 right 50 > 30 !
Owning is different than "investing in" which is what most of this is for all large tech companies.
Maybe these tech giants have a stake in tata thus partially owning it. Thus not mentioning. Also, this video is focused on US vs China, thus everything else is a backdrop!
Thank you! Very informative video and very well presented!
The title sounds like the introduction song of SpongeBob
Hell yess. 🤣🤣
Great information 👍
Excelent your videos! Congratulations 👏
That’s what starlink project is for.
Starlink, or any satellite system for that matter, will never be able to compete with the low latency and high bandwidth offered by fibre-optic cables.
@@ltaylor9704 Starlink uses Lasers in a vacuum. Thats True Speed of light. Light in fiber optics is considerably slower. Thats why they are talking about far faster speeds, and better ping times..Starlink already reporting ping times under 30 m/s, and 100mbs speeds, and say it's only going to get faster when more Sats are launched.
@@rogersmith1408 Satellites are great for one to many connections but can't deal with millions of individual requests. I'm still very sceptical.
@@ltaylor9704 It has limits. You are not wrong, but how many customers do current satellite internet providers support? Don't take my word for it. Search starlink bete tester data and see what you get. Better you ask them yourself what they think of the system. I am sure some limits will have to be in place for heavy density areas, but Elon said out at sea you should have no issues, when questioned about using it on boats
@@rogersmith1408 Space isn't a vaccum. Newers studies are showing.
Why there is no mention of starlink in this video if you can talked about google balloon
Starlink, or any satellite system for that matter, will never be able to compete with the low latency and high bandwidth offered by fibre-optic cables.
@@ltaylor9704 wooosh
@@ltaylor9704 that's why they are launching 42,000 Sattelites.
Informative 👍
Keep fighting. The genius of our times is going beyond the stratosphere.

Finally a video that answers my question about the shark thing lol
Man, this comment is monitored by the US government because it ran through a US submarine cable.
Clearly CNBC hasn't updated itself on the Internet usage in India. Reliance JIO has covered almost the entire population.
I use jio and I live in united state
Great video, please consider adding metric units, too.
My 4G Internet is able to traverse 80 yards per second
After reading the title,
Me: ATLANTIS?!?!
Imagine if someone went across the ocean bed cutting all the cables 😂
when people talk about hardline connections being outdated ima send em this.
Hard connection is always more reliable and more secure. It is lot easier to tap into broadcast signal than physicaly tap into the network.
Can you please tell were did find the details of Indian unconnected areas.
I think it's not the updated one
un-affordable cost in India, India has cheapest internet
@@krateproductions4872 that's a broken wikipedia link, buddy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Internet_connection_speeds ..u added a ) at the end of the link

Also the fact that 645m indians are unconnected seems shady
700 million user are Internet user in India among 876 million phone user..can Google for facts.
This CNBC over underestimated as usual.
Aditya , its western media what do u expect from them , they lov to portrait and highlight negative facts about India and ignore the good facts ,
but love to portrays and highlight positive about them glorify their company's and nations shows more good facts about them hide negative sides ,
that the simple phycological tactics to make Brand India or anything related to India less and indirectly its effects the values and make global citizens and also Indians citizens a very negative bias opinions about India,

Yeah that's a big monch
hi from India 🇮🇳☺️❤️
I wonder how much the cable crossing the ocean weighs?!
it's amazing how someone came up with an idea to put this under ocean o..o 🤩
@2:15 when you convince your boss its a two-man job
He failed to mention that the advantage of subsea cabling over satellite was speed. The speed of light is a delay in transmitting data to and from orbit. This hamstrings datarates.
‘Amazin’
The thumbnail is from a cenote in Mexico, not the sea :)
what's the fight exactly?
How can you release a video in late 2020 on this subject and not mention starlink?
SpaceX’s Starlink is the alternative
Terrible alternative
@@omoba3000 whats wrong with it?
@@strawdemindset too expensive. It's not an alternative but rather an addition for remote areas.
Starlink is not an alternative to undersea cable
Lol. In what fantasy land? You mean the space trash that'll cause a rocket or shuttle explosion (if we restart the program)? Please!
The prime real estate for satellites is already saturated and it'll get worse with time. Running underwater cables is much easier and you don't have the constraints of flying over a particular area in space at all times. Besides, you ever heard of orbit? Those satellites move and while the "link" is a noble idea, it's not a reliable and steady source of data transfer.
Finally, light travels faster than any other manmade form, hence fiber optics are and will always be superior.
Don't be a tesla fan person and do some research.
So if the fiber optic cables transmit at 100,000 miles per second and radio waves transmit at 186,000 miles per second. Will wireless tech be where we end up when it comes to connecting the world? And will the cables just be more junk eventually?
no, radio waves can be altered or jammed. You cannot jam a fibre optic cable without physical access to it.
@3:33 You're gonna need a bigger cable.
Rooter? Or route r?
I thought the first A of AT&A is Atlantic, or am I wrong?
Satellites??? You mean weather balloons... which is 1% data, while 99.9% is undersea cables lol...
How do those cables cross the deep trenches under sea?
They chose the shallowest pathway
Never mentioned the Starlink project
Kessler event.
Fact: Back in 1958, NASA had a secret plan to nuke the moon
This is humanity in a nutshell.
What?
@Remo Gaggi It was to learn more about planetary astronomy, it’s not like it was the military industrial complex.
Security concerns concern to the ones who most breach security of others. Is that how every advance in technology is viewed in each progress?
Erm.... No mention of starlink?
To all the people talking about starlink they need fiber connected base stations on ground from where the internet is sent to the sattllites then to the peoples home dish antenna
You can build data centres right next to the base stations or build base stations right next to the existing data centres. This obviously will take some time and will not happen overnight. But slowly, the connection between data centres and people will be mostly over Startling or cellular networks. This means it will not be economical to lay new cables and fibre and they will eventually become obsolete.
These signals are sent to a ROOTER or cellphone tower
What's this Rooter you speak of...
I wished you talk about Space X’s Starlink. An alternative to the over the sea cabling and provide the “last mile” access to EVERYONE and anywhere. Services should be globally available in a couple of years.. 2022?
but its way too much costly than any regular internet. At the cost of its 1 month plan. I can get at least 2.5 years of Internet at 4gb per day with weekly data roll over plan.
3:27 would’ve been a nice “but” moment
It was my understanding that satellite data has latency due to the distance?
it would take 4-6 days to walk the distance of the shortest cable!
Generator's are substantial.
70% of Indians have internet access. that's twice as much as the entire population of America, also cost of internet is very cheap in India.
roughly you get 168gb of data for 3 month's for $9.
Speed?
What about spacex internet?
Very interesting story. CNBC maybe you could also show how repairs are made when a cable is cut by mistake?
Thankyou for debunking satellites;
it's ALL fiber optic cables and balloons, haha!
satellites are real yet Google wants to use balloons @ 4:09?
Africa's population needs revising, they are underserved and undercounted and under represented. They are over a billion.
i’m here because of brittany lmao
Do you know that about 25% of world's undersea internet cables are owned by Tata, an Indian giant?
Tata communications owns 30% undersea cable
Jokes on you. we use satellite DSL.
@male version of Karen hahaha
“Rooter” ha!
So if aliens shoot our satellites down we will still be able to watch youtube!! yes!!
It's already happened. My neighborhood has been hacked. Everything is suddenly funneling to SF...
Internet needs to be expensive to be respected like in the USA. We have horrible pricing in India. End customers feel like internet is free for the providers lol.
First of all its is expensive there. 2nd its stupid cheap here. In cities its actually pretty good where I am its just in parts of the city its bad. Partly because its so cheap. Needs to be a balance
Internet can be cheap the real issue is, infrastructure and "density" of human population, the better dense area of humans, = cheaper internet, while you do need competitors, as well as your government pitching in their own internet.
Different countries offer offer 10gpbs under 30$ due to better density/infrastructure. ..
While 1gbps unlimited would cost me about $300 a month from comcast(USA)which I had, I didn't use it much, thought I need it. Now I pay 100$ month, which is still expensive but speedy as hell. While there are cheaper plans for slower internet, which I avoid tho hehe.
Plus countries still need to "modernize" with the times, as a lot of countries still need to even out in their economy, as "capitalism" tends to help out these poorer countries or what you call globalism. As india itself has its own silicon valley just as Cali has, while outskirts of india can be very poor, just as to china is poor, while mainland can be very rich.
Then what about satellites 📡?
shark attack the gamers
I really thought Amazon would be way ahead of Google or any other company in laying cables because of their share in Cloud Storage services.
I love how musk isn’t part of this, he’s too futuristic
I was surprised Facebook was ahead of Amazon and Microsoft combined.
Fight over the internet under the sea... Spongebob Squarepants!!

Learned nothing new from this report, what was the point?
So is possible thy stilling Internet ,
Please take an update about India as the information given in the video is pretty old so get the update and make further changes
.Asia America Gateway: 12.427 miles = 19.999,318 km.
I think CNBC is not aware of Starlink
amazing they didn't even mention Starlink, which will change everything.
Where is Tesla hyper loop? The virgin rip off is under test right now.
Preserve the natural element's.
Never heard of starlink i guess
Will it become obsolete when Starlink becomes operational?
No way, with current technology satellites can't provide enough bandwidth to a country, even if it provides in future weather will be a problem and also vulnerable to missiles. Starlink is also costly $499 for dish and $99per month. Currently each satellite provide service to 170 users at a time. I believe their customers will be Ships, Airways, yacht operators, Rich and upper middle class village folks.
Im waiting for Starlink.
where are you now....under the sea
Good stuff.
Y’all didn’t do your research... it’s called starlink
Jeez. Why do people seem to think Starlink is an alternative to an undersea cable.? Starlink is satellite technology meant to serve remote areas. Kindly do your research
@@kelvinpac starlink will replace old big tech/finance monopoly owned cables
