    We are currently expecting to start construction in July/August time

              Yes. Two cables currently happening:<br>

            Unfortunately I am not sure that ‘happening’ is the right
            word, I think perhaps ‘proposed’ is better. Unless of course

            Again I believe it is still pending someone pushing the big

          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>I think potentially both cables are in trouble as they
            don’t have a number in their name. SMW3, PPC-1 etc (not
            wanting to be a doomsayer but this could be the fatal flaw
            they have overlooked)</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Lastly don’t forget about Trident they seem to be the
            dark horse and are pursuing a more resource sector focused
            plan that the other two.</div>

          <div>I certainly can’t wait until someone green lights their
            cable as the demand for connectivity to SG is growing and
            SMW3 capacity looks like it will be in short supply soon.</div>
