Reuters is revealing details of the Diego Garcia project and SubCom’s deepening ties with the Pentagon.
SubCom’s loyalty is especially important because it is the only major U.S. subsea cable company.
Rather, they carefully obscured the U.S. military component within a larger private-sector cable project, according to four subsea cable industry sources with knowledge of the arrangement.
That project, known as the Oman Australia Cable, was spearheaded by SUBCO, a Brisbane-based subsea cable investment company owned by Australian entrepreneur Bevan Slattery.
Once the Navy project was complete, AT&T’s submarine cable project morphed into a commercial business, the former employees said.
