The emergence of new submarine cable projects in the hands of players like Facebook, Google and Microsoft, which Convergencialatina has shown in the latest edition of the Carriers Map, will result in a drop in prices of capacity. This was anticipated by Hector Silva, CTO of Ciena for Latin America, and Fabio Medina, General Manager for the region, in an interview last week at Futurecom 2016. "We have fewer submarines lines than in other regions, and given that Internet Content Providers (ICPs) are the drivers of capacity, there will be more accessible capacity costs,” said Medina to Convergencialatina.
