When I worked on the early undersea submarine cable projects at the turn of the century, there was the fear that the fibre capacity would be excessive and be a white elephant. This turned out to be grossly wrong - the dark fibre was quickly lit as consumers lapped up the additional content on the additional bandwidth and more cables were launched. I wonder whether this cautious increase of data centre capacity will follow a similar trajectory of over-cautiousness.

There is no limit to the number of applicants that will be accepted, but the total capacity allocated is expected be around 60MW.
