Google’s plans to build its own data network are now rumored to include communications cable under the Pacific Ocean. This follows reports earlier today that Google is looking to bid on wireless spectrum in the UK, in addition to their moves in the US.
The project to lay cable, called “Unity,” would involve several other telecommunications companies who would aim to have it operational by 2009. The move would give Google a leg up on other US companies looking to deliver content to Asia, since they would have their own dedicated cable.
