  • New Branches for the 2Africa Subsea Cable System
    New branches for the 2Africa subsea cable system 16 August, 2021: The 2Africa consortium, comprised of China Mobile International, Facebook, MTN GlobalConnect, Orange, stc, Telecom Egypt, Vodafone and WIOCC, announced today the addition of four new branches to the 2Africa cable. The branches will extend 2Africa’s connectivity to the Seychelles, the Comoros Islands, and Angola, and bring a new landing to south-east Nigeria. The new branches join the recently announced extension to the Canary Islands. 2Africa, which will be the largest subsea cable project in the world, will deliver faster, more reliable internet service to each country where it lands. Communities that rely on the internet for services from education to healthcare, and business will experience the economic and social benefits that come from this increased connectivity. Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) has been selected to deploy the new branches, which will increase the number of 2Africa landings to 35 in 26 countries, further improving connectivity into and around Africa. As with other 2Africa cable landings, capacity will be available to service providers at carrier- neutral data centres or open-access cable landing stations on a fair and equitable basis, encouraging and supporting the development of a healthy internet ecosystem. Marine surveys completed for most of the cable and Cable manufacturing is underway Since launching the 2Africa cable in May 2020, the 2Africa consortium has made considerable progress in planning and preparing for the deployment of the cable, which is expected to ‘go live’ late 2023. Most of the subsea route survey activity is now complete. ASN has started manufacturing the cable and building repeater units in its factories in Calais and Greenwich to deploy the first segments in 2022.

  • Aligning Cybersecurity to Enable the Telco Metamorphosis in a Post-COVID-19 Era August 2020 Foreword
    Aligning cybersecurity to enable the Telco metamorphosis in a post-COVID-19 era August 2020 Foreword Over recent years, telecom operators (Telcos) across the globe have witnessed revenue stagnation in their core services, despite the enormous growth in bandwidth demand and usage. Furthermore, they are also facing competition from digital service providers resulting in shrinking of revenues from core services. The ongoing digitalization wave has brought a lot of disruptive changes in terms of customer expectations and the way telecommunication services are consumed. Also, digital service providers have an upper hand to Telcos because they can quickly leverage multiple disruptive digital technologies. Telcos are facing an existential crisis due to these fierce competitions from digital service providers and the rapidly changing environment. Telcos have no other option, but to transform if they are to remain relevant. Telcos across the globe are trying to embark on a transformative journey by investing in their digital infrastructure and adopting a business model which focuses on customer experience and technology dominance. Cloud, 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) top the list of technology catalysts that can aid Telcos in the transformation. There is no doubt that this metamorphosis will provide bountiful rewards to Telcos. However, Telcos will be skating on thin ice, if they are not careful about the cybersecurity implications of this transformation journey. This white paper focuses on exploring the cyber aspects of the Telco metamorphosis.

Outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) and knowledge flow in the context of emerging MNEs : Cases from China, India and South Africa. African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development, vol. 9, issue 3, p. null URL: https://doi.org/10.1080/20421338.2017.1359436 Publisher: Taylor & Francis This document has been downloaded from MUEP (https://muep.mah.se) / DIVA (https://mau.diva-portal.org). 1 Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) and Knowledge Flow in the Context of Emerging MNEs: Cases from China, India and South Africa Angathevar Baskaran* , Ju Liu**, Hui Yan*** & Mammo Muchie**** Abstract The paper explores the factors driving OFDI by EMNEs and the patterns of knowledge transfer, as there are still some gaps in the understanding of these two aspects, by examining six cases of MNEs from three of the BRICS’ economies (India, China, and South Africa). It mainly employs descriptive data for a period of about ten years in each case which were gathered from secondary sources including EMNEs’ annual financial reports, press releases, websites, and other sources. It found that there are complex aspects of OFDI by EMNEs which cannot be explained by existing FDI theories. A theoretical model that integrates both ‘latecomer strategies for catch up’ and the ‘traditional FDI’ models is necessary to fully understand these aspects.

This has made investors cautious about building assumptions into CSPs’ future financial performance.
