This analysis describes the economic impact of Meta’s investment in the MAREA subsea cable and the potential economic impact of future cable landings that Meta plans in Europe. As the anchor tenant on the cables analysed herein, Meta’s investments made the subsea cable projects economically viable for other consortium members which include both private and public network providers. Meta’s investments thus expanded broadband capacity for a vast array of uses. Therefore, this report quantifies the total economic impact of the cables, which includes benefits derived from all capacity supplied by the cables, both public and private.
