Last year was a stellar one for Bermuda's
positioning in the global array of telecommunications service
providers. From home and work, across global terrestrial networks,
to undersea cables and satellite laser communications,
Bermuda's telco landscape is developing well.
Not only did Google announce that Nuvem, its new transatlantic
subsea cable system, will be built to connect the United States and
Portugal, but it also announced that Nuvem would be routed through
a communications hub to be built in Bermuda.
In effect, Bermuda has become a very welcoming de facto
partner in Google's long-term objective of attracting
communications infrastructure and services to these shores as a
point of efficient intersection to serve that emerging digital
highway.
