- A ship is preparing to set sail from France to lay the next section of the largest ever sub-sea internet cable.
The 2Africa cable is an incredible 45,000 km long and stretches around the entire continent.
But even as the world celebrates ambitious projects like getting more people online, internet freedom is on the decline around the world.

It's probably US and EU taxpayer funded cable to grant Africa greater access to the Alphabet-Meta duopoly on internet advertising revenue.
No doubt Mr Sunak is misappropriating PIP funds and children's autism assessment funds to the 2 Africa fund to spur profits for the duopoly known to hire a large swathe of India's programming, AI and product development tech talent.
@@aljanat5quite specific, any links or are you totally guessing? (seems probable)
Internet has become like TV 2.0 anyway and we the people can't comment on news articles for most websites. You used to be able to comment on bbc news articles for example.
Oh, the irony.
@@vylbird8014 well my last message got deleted so you figure it out.
@@vylbird8014 this is not website comments, it yourube comment. TH-cam is part of the internet not the internet as a whole. So oh the sophistry from you.
@@vylbird8014
Not really, because BBC often lock their comments.
I have never seen any good comments on news.
It takes a special type of person to make an account and comment on news....
This is great!! Reliable, fast, and resilient internet is essential to run infrastructure smoothly. It can literally save lives
Brilliant!!!! Incredible thank you all that got this done! righteously a serious congratulations to you all ...Better for all humanity
Thank you! I worked hard
Congratulations, a brilliant idea may it only grow bigger safer and better . all the very Best
@@AnneSmile-cv9yl You are welcome!! I am sure it will. x
More customers for the elite
More elitism for the anti elite elite.
It is amazing that they can get a cable that distance under the sea.... Still cannot get Fttp where I am LOL
I find it surprising that a video titled to be about the largest sub-sea cable in the world hardly spends a few seconds on the details of the cable itself (not even bothering to mention how long it would be, once completed and show on the map its route) and instead consists majorly of covering the political aspect of Internet restrictions. Whoever wrote the title needs to do a better job! Or maybe even BBC is resorting to click baiting!
I happen to be reading about Bell Labs successful installation of the first transatlantic telephone cable. Cool story 😊
Nokia
Curiousdroid has done a video about Bell Labs and it’s fascinating. The amount they have given the world, and moved us forward is astonishing. It’s a pity there aren’t around today
@@darrentakesover From what I am reading…they were a monopoly…broken up!!!
@@darrentakesover I will have to check it out 👍
I just remember when I looked into them was that their employees won so many Nobel prizes, and the culture there was great
"....your e-mails and social media posts...." And pretty much everything else, even phone calls between lands. They're also known as submarine (tele)communications cables, a more accurate description even if a mouthful.
A more fun fact: The compound (silica) typically used in the fibres is also used in some toothpastes, food and cosmetics as well as glass, albeit in different forms.
Small cable. What is the maximum throughput?
100Tbps - 500Tbps
What if a Megalodon bites it
Then we send 10 Thalattoarchons to repair it.
What does the white and grey suggests
wow
I thought we had satellites?
Even Sky TV is moving away from satellites. Sky Glass is delivered by broadband.
ALK'S SATTELITS ARE BALOON 🤣🤣🤣 THE REAL INTERNET IS ON THE CABLE !!!!!
I thought SpaceX and Elon is boomig but thats not the case🤣
सैटेलाइट्स की बैण्डविड्थ उतनी अच्छी नहीं होती।
Satellite provides only the tiniest fraction of the capacity that a cable can.
Until someone cuts it
Got enough money for internet but not enough for food and clean water, priorities people priorities 😂
Let's hope the internet in Africa distracts them from having 7+ kids
👍
that is until a chinese or russian ship decides to drag their anchor through it
Undersea cables have been around for the past 100 years or more
But they keep getting faster, as the need to bring a constant supply of cute animal pictures to phone around the world is ever-growing.
@@greatwhitebuckwheat791 I can't find a reliable price anywhere, but estimates put it at just under a billion dollars. Too much for one company to fund - it's being built by a consortium of companies. Seven telecoms companies, and Meta - the owners of Facebook. Always good to diversify a bit.
Houtis
Until now it is a matter of 0 and 1 means numbers and numbers can be extracted and can be intruded , so manipulation can't be difficult.
Hence controlling internet by responsible authorities can never be difficult prior and post coming in action of Artificial intelligence router which established routs of communications can be directed in such a way that your message could reach you after travelling unwanted distances.
Not so easily as was once the case. Almost everything going over the internet is encrypted these days, for exactly that reason.
all it takes is a drunk Russian ship captain ..... and the cable disappears
We pay for internet charge to local ISP 😂😂 not free internet
Until Chinese Ship drops it anchor ⚓ and drags it along has been known 🤔

So keep your comments short and simple else it will be used against you in the court of law according to section 419 of the 2024 law on comments

Just remember, most of the data travelling through these cables will be porn
Yea now i can finally demolish EU players with 3ms ping

Ahh more scammers coming online 😂😂..Joy to the world
And you will find ways to be tapping information from ants and human beings.
Can't satellites do same job? At least they are likely immune from Houthis sabotage 😂
No. Satellites have their uses in providing connectivity to remote areas, or people who need mobility. But they just don't have the capacity. Satellite connections are in hundreds of megabits, undersea cables in hundreds of terabits - the cable can carry a million times as much traffic.

Yes, even with all of our anti-vax, "F* Trudeau," fascist populist, truck convoy, etc. enthusiasts, we're at least maintaining a legitimately (philosophically) liberal position thus far. (Perhaps the spirit of J.S. Mill's "On Liberty" is still alive here?)

We could introduce both Holocaust and Holodomor education and awareness to the people in Africa, Afghanistan and the entire middle east!
Putlers fabulous hairstyles💇
You could, but they probably wouldn't be any more interested in a holocaust that happened sixty years ago to a culture far from there than people in Europe would be in, say, the blockade of Biafra that deliberately starved over a million people in Nigeria, 1967. At some point history just becomes history, especially when it's someone else's history.

So much for bullshit satellites
Satellites can only offer the tiniest fraction of the capacity of a cable. They are good if you need connectivity in the middle of nowhere, or resilient communications in time of disaster or conflict, but they'd never be able to handle the requirements that cables serve.
You still need satellites for Internet to work 🥴
@@Mohamad-mi2ti Not really. They help, yes - emergency connectivity, isolated areas, clock synchronisation. But they aren't essential. If all the satellites broke down tomorrow, the internet would suffer minor disruption that might take a few days to repair.
Unnecessary and stupid, atleast leave the sea alone but no!!!
