The FCC’s August 2025 submarine cable reforms fast-track trusted projects, bar high-risk foreign entities, and align with parallel EU and ITU initiatives. Together, these moves mark a decisive shift toward treating undersea fibre as a strategic, defended asset in global tech competition.

The FCC’s August 2025 submarine cable licensing overhaul is more than a procedural update - it signals a shift in how the U.S. treats the physical infrastructure of the internet. By fast-tracking trusted projects and locking out high-risk players, Washington is redrawing the geopolitical map of global connectivity and setting new standards for digital trust.

The FCC has overhauled U.S. submarine cable rules for the first time in nearly 25 years, fast-tracking trusted projects while blocking adversary-controlled entities, notably from China, from connecting to U.S. networks. With 99% of global internet traffic and $10 trillion in daily transactions flowing through these undersea arteries, the move marks a decisive shift toward treating subsea cables as strategic assets in the U.S. - China technology rivalry.
