Vocus Seeks Transfer of TPG's Subsea Cable Licenses

As part of Australian telecommunications company Vocus Group's purchase of Australian telecom TPG Telecom's submarine cable business, the two are seeking FCC approval for control of the submarine cable landing license they jointly hold for the PPC-1 submarine cable system. In an application posted Friday, the two said they hope to close on the deal in Q3 2025. PPC-1 started service in 2009 and connects Sydney, Australia, and Piti, Guam.
