To direct the Secretary of Commerce to submit to Congress a report containing an assessment of the value, cost, and feasibility of a trans-Atlantic submarine fiber optic cable connecting the contiguous United States, the United States Virgin Islands, Ghana, and Nigeria.

This bill would direct the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to conduct a comprehensive study and submit a report to Congress examining the feasibility, costs, value, and security implications of constructing a submarine fiber optic cable. The proposed cable would connect the contiguous United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Ghana, and Nigeria, creating a new international telecommunications infrastructure.

The report would assess practical considerations including the financial investment required, the benefits such a cable would provide, and potential security concerns. Additionally, the study would evaluate the possibility of establishing a data center and high-security cloud services facility in the U.S. Virgin Islands that could support certain national security communications needs.
