Navigating India's Subsea Cable Governance
from All Things Policy · host Takshashila Institution
Subsea cables are the fibre-optic networks laid across the ocean floor that carry approximately 95% of all intercontinental digital communications, serving as the essential, yet often invisible, backbone of the modern global internet. In India, the subsea cable ecosystem is constrained by regulatory gaps, procurement hurdles, and structural commercial barriers, resulting in significant vulnerabilities in the nation’s digital connectivity.In this episode of All Things Policy, Anisree Suresh and Anwesha Sen explore these vulnerabilities and discuss ways to mitigate the same.
