TurkNet, SOCAR Fiber to integrate network along TANAP pipeline

The subsea cable damage we reported recently that apparently happened along the coasts of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal on 14 March has continued to make headlines in recent days.

Executives at Philippine broadband provider Converge ICT Solutions have reportedly said that two major international subsea cable networks it’s participating in are behind schedule and may not be completed until next year.

Benin-based broadband provider Isocel Telecom has announced ambitious plans to expand its network to reach up to half a million households, emphasising that fibre is still essential to fill the gaps that mobile connectivity cannot yet address.
