A bit of a grind but my first ever Double Shell Jump is in the books! Thanks for teaching me sensei @GrandPOOBear #SuperMarioMaker2

Brazil is becoming one of the most strategically important nodes on the global internet. Here is why that matters… Roughly 95 percent of all intercontinental data flows through submarine fiber optic cables on the ocean floor, and a growing share of those cables land in Brazil. Brazil's submarine cables land in 17 coastal cities, with the largest hubs in Fortaleza, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Praia Grande, and Salvador. Brazilian submarine infrastructure includes direct connections to the United States, Western Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the South Atlantic. BRUSA, a 160 terabit per second cable launched in 2018, links Rio de Janeiro and Fortaleza to Virginia Beach. EllaLink, launched in June 2021, gives Brazil the lowest latency direct connection to Europe on the market, with under 60 milliseconds round trip between Fortaleza and Sines, Portugal. SACS, launched in 2018, links Fortaleza directly to Angola, reducing Africa to South America latency from 350 milliseconds to 63 milliseconds. SAIL, launched in 2018, links Fortaleza directly to Cameroon. Meta announced Project Waterworth in 2025, a 50,000 kilometer global cable that will connect Brazil to the United States, India, and South Africa. The cables only matter if there is computing infrastructure on the other end of the fiber to process what is flowing through it. That is the AI and cloud computing thesis. Brazil currently operates over 100 data centers totaling roughly 700 megawatts of capacity, with major expansion underway across São Paulo, Campinas, Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, Brasília, and Porto Alegre. With the cleanest electricity grid of any major economy, abundant land, low-cost industrial power, and a regulatory framework that is actively courting hyperscale data center investment. Brazil is being positioned as the next Latin American AI compute hub. Capital is already moving in. Microsoft has committed $2.7 billion and Amazon $1.8 billion. The top five Latin American operators announced $8.9 billion for 2025 alone. Brazil's government incentive plan projects up to $377 billion in digital infrastructure investment over the next decade. The country that some analysts still treat as digitally peripheral runs one of the most strategic submarine cable hubs on the planet, and is now building the computing infrastructure to match. Brazil is building the physical infrastructure that the global AI economy will run on, at a fraction of what equivalent capacity costs in the United States or Western Europe. Hyperscalers have already done the math. Most capital allocators have not.
