SANTIAGO: Alphabet Inc’s Google has completed a 10,000-kilometre (6,214-mile) subsea cable linking the coast of California to Chile, a key step in its plans to bolster its global cloud computing infrastructure. 

The cable, dubbed the "Curie" project, arrived at the Chilean port of Valparaiso on April 23, Google said in a post on their regional website. The cable starts in Los Angeles before making its way to South America under the Pacific Ocean.
