Interestingly this cable is being built by Subtel Partners (Press release: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;subpartners.net&#x2F;press&#x2F;subpartners-Indigo-media-release.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;subpartners.net&#x2F;press&#x2F;subpartners-Indigo-media-releas...</a>) and was previously called APX (West &amp; Central).<p>Superloop just bought Subtel Partners today as well: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.itnews.com.au&#x2F;news&#x2F;superloop-acquires-subpartners-457369" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.itnews.com.au&#x2F;news&#x2F;superloop-acquires-subpartner...</a><p>It&#x27;s only being built with 2 fiber pairs, so should be fairly cheap. It&#x27;s one of the first cables I&#x27;ve heard of to exclusively use spectrum sharing:<p>&quot;The system will use a two-fibre pair ‘open cable’ design with spectrum sharing technology. Consortium members will have spectrum ownership providing the ability to independently take advantage of technology advancements and future upgrades as required.&quot;
