Facebook's Middle Mile Infrastructure

Tue Dec 17 21:50:52 UTC 2019

Facebook announced the MMI project prior to starting the build.  It takes a while to get all the permits and approvals to begin construction and the routes are not completed yet. 

If you are interested in more detail please contact me off list (abaskett at fb.com) and I can connect you to the team who is responsible for the project.

Best Regards, 
Andrew

Here's a short outline: 
https://connectivity.fb.com/news/fiber-optic-cable/

"We will be investing in new long-haul fiber to allow direct 
connectivity between our data centers in Ohio, Virginia, and North 
Carolina."
[...]
"We will reserve a portion for our own use and make the excess available 
to others. This means you’ll start to see a Facebook subsidiary, Middle 
Mile Infrastructure, operating as a wholesale provider (or, where 
necessary, as a telecommunications carrier)."
