AT&T, NTT Join Undersea Cable Consortium

Call it the very-not-wireless network. CNET News reports that AT&T, the largest phone company in the U.S., and Japan’s NTT said Tuesday that they joined an international consortium to build a new undersea network underneath the Pacific Ocean.

AT&T said it was “joining the effort to build the new Trans-Pacific Express network to help stabilize the Internet and its voice services.”
