Some time ago, the Islamic Republic threatened to extort money from tech companies for cables that pass under the dredge. In order to better understand what I want to say, let's first go and see what exactly we write in the physical world. And then we get the moment you hit the send button, your premium will be converted into binary or zero-and-one codes, and then it will be crushed into data packets. This data is taken out of your hands from the Wi-Fi or network cable and reaches your modem. The modem sends this data via fiber-optic cables to your internet provider and from there this data travels to the AI data centers. If this data is on another continent, your data will be converted into infrared light pulses and traveled through the fiber-optic cables that lie on the ocean floor. There, it's directed to a special server that's full of AI chips. Your parameter will be assembled there and given to the AI submodel. The model thinks a little and sends you the answer after the same route. Your entire round trip takes less than a few seconds, thanks to the cables on the ocean floor. The first fiber-optic cables work? Increasing demand Manufacturing and installation Cable cuts and grey-zone tactics cable of the 1980s connected America to Europe. A lot of these cables have taken their lives and out of the ocean floor. When they were pulling these cables, they thought of the shortest possible route, but now that decades have passed since then, they are no longer thinking of the shortest route to replace them, but they have chosen the safest route. Meta introduced project Waterworth last year, a new cable that crosses all five continents. To imagine the magnitude of this cable, it with the environment planet. The equatorial line around the globe is 40,000 kilometers. This cable is 10,000 kilometers more than the circumference of the entire planet. The current cables pass through the Red Sea, Suez Canal, and the Persian Gulf. These paths are very sensitive from a geopolitical standpoint. Wars, ship attacks or even ship anchors can cut off millions of people's internet on cables. Meta wants to create a new path that bypasses these sensitive routes. The new cable will connect directly to Africa from the United States and from there to India and Southeast Asia, and then to Australia and back to the United States. The rest of the big tech companies did not sit idly. For example, Amazon and Google are also pulling their own cables. Now let's go back to the threat of the Islamic Republic or any other power that wants to blackmail those sensitive areas. Multi-trillion-dollar companies like Meta don't wait for someone to come and negotiate. They easily remove the entire Middle East and the Persian Gulf from the physical path of the global internet by spending millions of dollars. Of course, they knew long before this threat that these cables should not pass through there. Do you think this kind of blackmail works in the tech world?
