  • Spark New Zealand and Optus, the Two Largest Shareholders in the Southern Cross Cable Network, Have Jointly Begun Industry Discu
    Spark New Zealand and Optus, the two largest shareholders in the Southern Cross Cable Network, have jointly begun industry discussions about future international cable connectivity across the South Pacific. The major shareholders in Southern Cross have agreed to work with the cable network’s largest customers and other industry participants to explore options for ensuring the future stability of International sub-sea capacity supply between Australia, New Zealand, and across the South Pacific to North America. Southern Cross CEO Anthony Briscoe said. “This is not about short term supply or capacity – that is more than accommodated by the current Southern Cross cable. Rather, it is about future-proofing the whole region well beyond 2030, and ensuring there is a reliable and resilient supply of international bandwidth for the region to keep us connected to the world.” Mr. Briscoe said advances in technology over the last decade means Southern Cross has already increased the capacity on the current cable many fold, and has already extended the life of its existing cable system to at least 2030. “However given the lengthy lead times, and the importance of a strong business and investment case for such a long-dated asset, it’s now time to start considering how we can ensure the connectivity needs of future generations will be met,” Mr. Briscoe said. Spark New Zealand Managing Director Simon Moutter said: “We have already taken the first steps towards ensuring that there is a long term supply strategy in place by partnering with Vodafone and Telstra on the Tasman Global Access (TGA) Cable.

In the Matter of PACIFIC CARRIAGE LIMITED INC., AND File No. SCL-LIC-2019-____________ SOUTHERN CROSS CABLES LIMITED Application for a License to Land and Operate a Private Fiber-Optic Submarine Cable System Connecting Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tokelau, Kiribati, and California, THE SOUTHERN CROSS NEXT SYSTEM JOINT APPLICATION FOR CABLE LANDING LICENSE— STREAMLINED PROCESSING REQUESTED Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 34, Executive Order No. 10,530, and 47 C.F.R. § 1.767, Pacific Carriage Limited Inc. (“PCLI”) and Southern Cross Cables Limited (“SCCL,” together with PCLI, the “Applicants”) hereby apply for a license to land and operate within the United States a private fiber-optic submarine cable network connecting Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tokelau, Kiribati, and California. The system will be known as the Southern Cross NEXT system. The Applicants will operate Southern Cross NEXT on a non-common-carrier basis, by providing bulk capacity to wholesale, enterprise, and Internet content customers on particularized terms and conditions pursuant to individualized negotiations. The existence of competition on all U.S.-international routes to be served by Southern Cross NEXT obviates any need for common-carrier regulation of the system on public-interest grounds. The Applicants intend to commence commercial operation of Southern Cross NEXT in the fourth calendar quarter of 2021. The Applicants therefore seek timely grant of a cable landing license by the Commission no later than September 2020, in order to permit construction activities to proceed on schedule. An expeditious grant of this application will significantly advance the public interest in the following ways.
