There's one company already investing/building on this called SubPartners - http://www.subpartners.net

They are planning 3 submarine cables: 1. APX Central - Connecting Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth. http://www.subpartners.net/cables/apx-central.html 2. APX East - Sydney, NZ, California. http://www.subpartners.net/cables/apx-east.html 3. APX West - Perth, Jakarta, Singapore. http://www.subpartners.net/cables/apx-west.html

All 3 are planned to be completed by Q3, 2016. Obviously lots of factors and risks involved.

If Google (and others with investments in local clouds. eg: Amazon, Microsoft etc) wanted to invest, those 3 would be what you'd want to invest in.
