The Trans-Continental Fiber Optic Networks will bring a new level of service in data, voice, and video communications. Internationally the services will even be greater as the Benefits have even a more profound effect. However the levels and type of services will also increase dramatically. Respectively, some of these are listed below.
- Managed web hosting which will allow more advanced web pages with unlimited bandwidth internationally and nationally.

- Companies will be able to support IP-based voice communications, virtual private networks, intranet, extranets and IP transit services offered on the wholesale level from transcontinental carriers.
- Private line and long distance services
- Medical Imaging from anywhere in the country on fiber optics
- Distance learning will be possible where in many underdeveloped countries, travel is difficult.
- Data visualization.
- Remote instrumentation and control (surgeries). An expert from France can perform surgery on a patient in Seattle.
- High quality multipoint audiovisual conferencing. For example, in Universities, this will allow visiting professors to guest lecture at smaller colleges that can't afford to physically bring these professors to campus. A Russian language class in the US can interact with a class in Russia and learn each other's languages.
- Specifically, fiber optic systems will be used in applications such as spacecraft navigation because it is more lightweight and effective than other mediums.
