Excerpt from islandtimes.org

PALIKIR (PACIFIC ISLAND TIMES) — The long-stalled undersea cable that will interlink Micronesian islands is expected to be up and running by November, following the fiber optic cable landing in Kosrae, which completed the three-segment infrastructure.

Jointly funded by the U.S, Australia and Japan, the East Micronesia Cable will “transform the Federated States of Micronesia’s digital future,” the U.S Embassy in Pohnpei said after the undersea cable landed in Kosrae on 18 August.

FSM officials marked the completion of cable installation in Kosrae with a Golden Buoy ceremony at the shore site in Tofol on 18 August, succeeding the 16 August and 23 July landings in Nauru and Kiribati, respectively.
