The document discusses Hawaii's reliance on aging undersea fiber optic cables for internet connectivity. Two of Hawaii's three cables connecting the islands are over 25 years old, nearing the end of their lifespan. The third and newest cable, laid in 2007, is owned by a company undergoing bankruptcy proceedings, casting uncertainty over its future. Previous task force recommendations emphasized the importance of submarine cables and promoting the landing of new transpacific cables in Hawaii to ensure reliable, high-speed connectivity. However, recent projects are bypassing Hawaii, risking a loss of cable capacity by 2025 without action.
