It’s time to look into competition policy to mobilize fund from private investment to turn the potential into reality. We would like to see some work from LIRNEasia from market development perspective for developing competitive transmission infrastructure across Asia. It seems to me that instead of encouraging public money for such projects, we should rather encourage public institutions to come up with investment friendly predictable policy.

There is the little problem of money.
But leave that aside. Laying terrestrial fiber across multiple Asian countries will require multiple authorizations, not only from national governments but also from sub-national ones. And one authorization not given, the whole project is dead. The opportunities for extortion are extraordinary. Therefore, no private multi-country terrestrial cables will be laid.
No alternative to what we propose.
