Meta Platforms $META just announced that it is building a new undersea cable to connect the United States and France
Meta says the new cable "Petal" is the "the first transoceanic subsea cable at petabit capacity, and the first to deploy multi-core fiber at scale"
"Petal will deliver 1 Pbps (1 petabit per second or 1,000 terabits per second), doubling what today’s most advanced subsea cables carry at this distance."
