Last week, Research Director Alan Mauldin unveiled yet another show-stopping presentation at Submarine Networks World.

This time around, Alan dove into the “Subsea Cold War” between China and the U.S. to assess its impact on the submarine cable industry.

Using the very latest TeleGeography data, this presentation answered three big questions:

  • How close are we to seeing two separate networks (one Chinese-aligned and one U.S.-aligned)?
  • Is China becoming less of an interconnection hub?
  • Are Chinese capacity prices behaving differently than other countries/routes?
