  • The Home of British/American Internet Surveillance in the Middle East Di Nicky Hager E Stefania Maurizi
    EXCLUSIVE Cyprus: the home of British/American Internet surveillance in the Middle East di Nicky Hager e Stefania Maurizi British and US Internet surveillance in the Middle East and surrounding regions occurs from a secret base on the island of Cyprus, as l'Espresso, the German daily “Sueddeutsche Zeitung”, the Greek daily “Ta Nea” and the Greek channel “AlphaTV” can reveal. The country only has a million citizens and is a small player in world affairs, but it is a key site for the mass surveillance systems revealed by US whistleblower Edward Snowden. The Middle Eastern surveillance hub has remained unidentified in Snowden revelations until now. The Guardian newspaper, which first received the Snowden leaks, said British Internet spying operations were run from two British sites and “a location abroad, which the Guardian will not identify”. The UK Independent newspaper also described a “secret Internet monitoring station in the Middle East” intercepting vast quantities of e­mails, phone calls and web traffic carried on underwater fibre­optic cables passing through the area ­­ but also declined to reveal the location. The secret location is Cyprus, the 240km long island in the eastern Mediterranean. When Britain granted Mediterranean independence in 1960, Britain retained two large military bases, now home to the most important overseas spying operations of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). This news comes amidst growing anger in Germany and other Western European countries at large­scale US and British surveillance of their citizens and political leaders. Britain faces pressure to stop spying on its European neighbours on behalf of the US intelligence agencies.

  • The Cyprus Telecommunications Authority
    Europe Review Spring 2003 A dynamic presence in a new era: The Cyprus Telecommunications Authority Celebrating its 40th anniversary the Cyprus Telecommunications Authority (CYTA) has survived the telecoms industry downturn with ease. With strong plans for the challenges facing it in a changing market, CYTA is set to become the telecoms hub for the region The ancient isle of Cyprus, where Aphrodite was born and Richard the Lionheart was married, is well known today as having one of the most advanced telecoms networks in Europe. Positioned in the eastern Mediterranean at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, Cyprus has historically served as a commercial and communications base of strategic importance. Now, at the beginning of the new millennium, the island’s firmly established reputation as an international financial and business services centre owes much to its superior global telecommunications capabilities . Cyprus Telecommunications Authority CYTA, a corporate body established by law in 1961 to provide national and international telecommunications services, has today evolved into a keen, customer- driven enterprise. CYTA’s commitment towards its customers is to offer a complete range of telecoms services, adapted to market requirements and based on the use of state-of-the-art modern technology. Its mission is the continuous improvement of the entrepreneurial capability and quality of life of its customers, by providing competitive electronic communications services. The ultimate goal is to satisfy its customer’s requirements in full, through the continuous improvement of the service level it offers. In 2001 CYTA celebrated its 40th anniversary. This milestone gave CYTA an opportunity not only to look back and note the organisation’s achievements during its long lifetime but, more importantly, to set new, ambitious targets for the future and to reposition its role in the life of the country on a new basis.
