Cayman to seek bids for new subsea cable
Government is proceeding with a request for proposals (RFP) for a new submarine fibre optic cable for the Cayman Islands.
Acting deputy premier, Jay Ebanks told radio host Orrett Connor on 12 Sept. that he has Cabinet’s approval to proceed with the RFP, and it will help provide a better understanding of the likely cost of this piece of critical infrastructure.
“Government will be looking at entering into a private-public partnership,” Jay Ebanks said, adding that currently there are three or four other submarine cables due to be installed through the Caribbean region and he said some participants and companies involved in these installations have expressed an interest in working with the Cayman Islands Government.
