US to drop fiber-optic cable to Cuba in 2015
Sep 30, 2013
MIAMI, CMC – Top United States military officials say a fiber-optic communications cable linking Florida to the US Naval base at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba will be laid in 2015.
Navy Lieutenant Commander Ronald Flanders, a US Southern Command, spokesman has agreed with the two-year timetable that chief information officer at the US Secretary of Defense’s office, Ronald Bechtold, refered to during his testimony at a military commissions case on Friday.
But Flanders said the bidder “probably won’t start laying the cable until 2015” with a goal of completion “around January 2016,” according to the Miami Herald.
