Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.HONGKONG TELECOM is joining a consortium of Asia's largest phone companies to build a $1bn underwater cable network, the group said yesterday.
The proposed APCN-2 network, which will offer high-capacity links between Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, is expected to be signed in China in the middle of this month.
Extensions to other countries, such as Australia, are set to follow the initial network, which is due to be completed in 2002.
