if the ground network of high-speed Internet was available that can be more reliable.

Iraq’s location is considered ideal for online communication between Asia and Europe, it has built a plant of submarine cables in FAO on the Gulf Coast to do the task.

Two companies which are ; Qatari Gulf Bridge International and Indian Global Claude Exchange have connected the cables submerged under water for the plants, but the bureaucracy in Iraq postponed linking them to the terrestrial network owned by Iraqi General Company for Post & Telecommunications.

The Executive President of the Global Cloud Exchange, Rory Cole said in a press statement that " the General Company for Post & Telecommunications search for a partner for us in marketing has taken between 3 and 4 years, as examined about 10 companies during the process."

In the meantime, neighboring Iran flourished as a partner in Europe- Fares fast gate, which was launched in 2012, it is a fiber optic cable linking Frankfurt and the Sultanate of Oman.

Cole said that the Iraqis could be in competition "because the road is shorter but should provide a reliable network."

Iraq's refusal to allow private companies to own fixed networks led to the slow pace of broadband Internet growth and exacerbated problems because of the rugged terrain and control of ISIS organization on vast tracts of land.

The submarine cables can extend for hundreds of kilometers between two points, but underground cables can be connected to the sources of energy along the way for the transfer of the signal.

Cole said as "this requires investment in the energy, if you were not connected to the network, this means the need for generators, fuel and cooling air to maintain the temperature."
