## Resource

Episode 82 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo dives into the race among AWS, Microsoft, and Google to lay their own transoceanic fiber cables. Lucas and Luna break down why hyperscalers are bypassing traditional telecom carriers, how private cables cut latency by up to 30 percent, and what this means for enterprise cloud costs in 2026. Featuring the specific case of Google's Firmina cable and AWS's new Pacific route, this episode explains the economics and geopolitics of undersea infrastructure that most cloud users never see. #UnderseaCables #CloudInfrastructure #AWS #MicrosoftAzure #GoogleCloud #FiberOptic #SubseaCable #Latency #CloudCost #FirminaCable #Bandwidth #TelecomDisruption #Technology #CloudComputing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DigitalInfrastructure #DataCenters Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
