Oregon is introducing new fees for undersea cable installations near its coast. These charges will generate revenue for the state's public K-12 schools. Existing fees were established about twenty-five years ago and were much lower. The new rates aim to attract tech investment while ensuring compensation. This update follows a 2020 incident involving a cable construction project.
