===== 4. Final Summary =====

Investment & Infrastructure:
* Total Investment: $1 Billion
* Design Capacity: 800 Tbps (with realistic saleable capacity likely much lower, e.g., 120 Tbps maximum initially)
* Components: Submarine cable, landing stations, terrestrial backhaul, and regulatory/operational costs

Market & Sales:
* Domestic Demand: Projected to reach ~50 Tbps
* Export Capacity: Realistically, 10–20% of 800 Tbps (e.g., 120 Tbps) could be sold over time
* Pricing: Target around $2,500 per Gbps per month, yielding ~$30 million per Tbps annually

Revenue & Break-Even (Conservative Scenario):
* If 50 Tbps sold initially: - Annual revenue ~ $1.5 billion - After operating expenses, net revenue might be ~$750 million - Break-even in approximately 1–2 years
* Full-scale scenario (up to 120 Tbps): Potentially higher revenues, but market uptake will be gradual

Timeline:
* Total Time to Full Operation: 3–4 years from project inception
