Emkhakheni wezintambo ze-fiber optic ezisebenzisa umkhumbi-ngwenya ezisekela ukuxhumana kwamazwe ngamazwe, u-50% wezintambo ezintsha ezifakwa phakathi kwamanje no-2025 zizoxhaswa yi-Google kanye nenkampani yase-US i-Meta. Izintambo ze-fiber optic ezisebenzisa umkhumbi-ngwenya ziyingqalasizinda eyinhloko ye-inthanethi futhi zithwala u-99% wokuxhumana kwedatha yomhlaba wonke. Izinkampani ezinkulu ze-IT zinobukhona obukhulu emhlabeni wonke ezinsizeni zamafu nakwezinye izinkambu, futhi ukubandakanyeka kwazo engqalasizinda yomphakathi kuzokwanda. UNikkei ubike ngabaxhasi bezintambo ze-fiber optic ezidlula amakhilomitha ayi-1,000, ezisetshenziswa kakhulu ekuxhumaneni kwamazwe ngamazwe, ngokusekelwe kudatha evela enkampanini yocwaningo yase-US i-TeleGeography.
Kusukela ngo-2023 kuya ku-2025, umhlaba uzoba namakhilomitha angu-314,000 izintambo ezibonakalayoAma-45% ala maphrojekthi enziwa yizinkampani ezixhaswe yi-Google kanye ne-Meta.

Ngezintambo ze-fiber optic zebanga elide ezidlula amakhilomitha ayi-5,000, i-Google inezingu-14 (kufaka phakathi ezi-5 ezixhaswe ngokwahlukana), inani elikhulu kunawo wonke.
Kubandakanya lawo aseqediwe kakade, i-Google ne-Meta zizolawula u-23% wezintambo i-fiber optics (amakhilomitha ayizigidi ezingu-1.25) abekwe phakathi kuka-2001 no-2025. Uma sibheka ibanga elibekwe eminyakeni engu-15 kuze kube ngu-2025, i-Meta ne-Google zithatha indawo yokuqala neyesibili ngokulandelana, zidlula izinkampani ezinkulu zokuxhumana zomhlaba wonke njenge-Vodafone yase-United Kingdom kanye ne-Orange yaseFrance ezisekele ukwakhiwa kwezintambo ze-fiber optic zasolwandle esikhathini esidlule.
