## Notice

DSIT is the lead Government department for telecommunications, data and internet infrastructure policy. A key part of our national internet infrastructure are the subsea cables that connect the UK to the global internet. The team responsible for telecommunications / data cables (referred to as 'subsea cables') works across Government, its agencies, and partners in industry to ensure the infrastructure that underpins the UK's telecoms and internet access is robust, resilient, secure and fit for the future. To assure the resilience of the UK's network of subsea cables, DSIT requires an evidence base to support policy development. The team needs a clear picture of how maintenance and repair is delivered and its long-term viability.
