China Telecom International and China Communications Services (the overseas and internal development arms of China Telecom) are working together to construct significant optical cables. Their aims are, first, to strengthen the Eurasian communications infrastructure. And second, to position themselves as major players in developing information-based economies across Europe, supporting smart city development and other influential projects.
