Fiber Optic Excitement
summary
Global connectivity comes from submarine fiber optic cables that suddenly bring effective broadband to places like Kenya, where new cables and rapid road overpass construction reshape cities. Small call centers run image tagging tasks and rural computer labs offer real jobs instead of informal labor; an ihub incubator in Nairobi fuels startups and a partner sets a concrete target of 2,000 people in digital labor. U.S. infrastructure still concentrates at 25 cable landing sites while FCC maps show persistent coverage gaps.
