Routledge Handbook of Ocean Resources and Management ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF OCEAN RESOURCES AND MANAGEMENT Edited by Hance D. Smith, Juan Luis Suárez de Vivero and Tundi S. Agardy First Published 2015 ISBN: 978-0-415-53175-7 (hbk) ISBN: 978-0-203-11539-8 (ebk) CHAPTER 23: SUBSEA TELECOMMUNICATIONS Lionel Carter and Douglas R. Burnett CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 23 SUBSEA TELECOMMUNICATIONS Lionel Carter and Douglas R. Burnett Introduction Send an email overseas, download a video, search the internet or make an airline booking – these everyday actions will most likely involve subsea fibre-optic cables. Over 95 per cent of international communications and data transfer are via the global subsea cable network – a general collective term used here to encompass the many cable systems that are owned and operated by independent commercial entities. That dominance of cables reflects their ability to reliably and rapidly transmit large volumes of data and voice traffic in a secure and economical manner (Carter et al., 2009; Burnett et al., 2013). Although satellites carry <5 per cent of international traffic, they are still suited for providing worldwide coverage and television broadcasts as well as bringing communications to remote areas not linked to cables and to regions prone to natural disasters. Such is the reliance of the world’s economy, security and social framework on subsea cables that they are now regarded as critical infrastructure and hence are worthy of the best possible protection (e.g. Lacroix et al., 2002; ACMA, 2015). To emphasise this point, the SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) provides a service that transmits financial data between 208 countries via subsea cables. In 2004, up to $US7.4 trillion were transferred or traded on a daily basis. Thus a failure of the subsea network, no matter how brief, invites large financial repercussions (Rauscher, 2010). Accordingly, cable protection has become a high priority especially at this time of a rapidly increasing human presence offshore. The last two decades have witnessed a marked expansion of shipping, offshore renewable energy generation, hydrocarbon and mineral exploration, industrial fishing and marine research, all of which are taking place against a backdrop of ocean change forced by a climate under the influence of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (e.g. Halpern et al., 2008; UNEP-WCMC, 2009; Smith et al., 2010; IPCC, 2013). Subsea cables Around 1.5 million kilometres of fibre-optic telecommunications cables have been laid on the ocean floor since 1988 when the first trans-oceanic system, TAT-8, was installed to link the USA, UK and France (Figure 23.1). For water depths exceeding ca. 2000 m – an approximate limit for bottom trawl fishing, which is a major cause of cable damage (e.g. Mole et al., 1997; 349 Lionel Carter and Douglas R.

  • Mapping the Information Environment in the Pacific Island Countries: Disruptors, Deficits, and Decisions
    December 2019 Mapping the Information Environment in the Pacific Island Countries: Disruptors, Deficits, and Decisions Lauren Dickey, Erica Downs, Andrew Taffer, and Heidi Holz with Drew Thompson, S. Bilal Hyder, Ryan Loomis, and Anthony Miller Maps and graphics created by Sue N. Mercer, Sharay Bennett, and Michele Deisbeck Approved for Public Release: distribution unlimited. IRM-2019-U-019755-Final Abstract This report provides a general map of the information environment of the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The focus of the report is on the information environment—that is, the aggregate of individuals, organizations, and systems that shape public opinion through the dissemination of news and information—in the PICs. In this report, we provide a current understanding of how these countries and their respective populaces consume information. We map the general characteristics of the information environment in the region, highlighting trends that make the dissemination and consumption of information in the PICs particularly dynamic. We identify three factors that contribute to the dynamism of the regional information environment: disruptors, deficits, and domestic decisions. Collectively, these factors also create new opportunities for foreign actors to influence or shape the domestic information space in the PICs. This report concludes with recommendations for traditional partners and the PICs to support the positive evolution of the information environment. This document contains the best opinion of CNA at the time of issue. It does not necessarily represent the opinion of the sponsor or client. Distribution Approved for public release: distribution unlimited. 12/10/2019 Cooperative Agreement/Grant Award Number: SGECPD18CA0027. This project has been supported by funding from the U.S.

For more than ten the people of National Computerization Agency(NCA) have kept helping the public and private sector to make the best of new and exciting opportunities brought by information and communication technology all over the country. Message From the Minister Korea has established a world-class information and communication infrastructure thanks to the joint efforts of the government and private sectors to build an IT powerhouse during the 1990s. Korea's leading infrastructure in the information and communication sector has enabled Korea to achieve unprecedented developments in all areas including political, economic, social and cultural spheres. As of the end of 2003, 11.18 million households - more than 73% of the total number of households - subscribed to broadband Internet and 29.22 million people - 66% of the total population - had access to the Internet. According to the "ITU 2003 Internet Report," Korea ranks first in terms of broadband Internet penetration rate, has the third largest population of Internet users, and has the fourth highest PC penetration rate in the world.
