1. Story
2. Microsoft, Facebook and Telxius announced completion of a cable of about 6,600 km between Virginia Beach and Sopelana near Bilbao, with eight fibre pairs and an initial design capacity given as 160 Tbps. Two features mark the change of era: the owners are the companies whose services generate the traffic rather than carriers selling capacity, and the southern landfall deliberately avoids the crowded northern transatlantic corridor.

17. Evidence
18. Supports MAREA's landings at Virginia Beach and Sopelana near Bilbao, its length of about 6,600 km, its eight fibre pairs, its initial design capacity of 160 Tbps and the three-party ownership. V55 verification basis: retrieved in summary, not opened. This is a source announcing its own project; the 200 Tbps figure quoted elsewhere in trade coverage is a vendor trial result and is treated in this pack as demonstrated rather than contracted capacity.
