February 12, 1992 Prepared By: Clyde Hertzman MD
OM TRIP REPORT ON ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH IN THE BALTIC COUNTRIES January 11 - February 12, 1992 Prepared by: Clyde Hertzman MD, MSc, FRCPC WORLD ENVIRONMENT CENTER 419 Park Avenue South, Suite 1800 New York, NY 10016 May 1992 DISCLAIMER The opinions expressed herein are the professional opinions of the author and do not represent the official position of the Government of the United States or the World Environment Center. Environment and Health in the Faltic Countries by Clyde Hertzman MD, MSc, FRCPC My investigations into environmental health conditions in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia were the first I conducted in republics of the former Soviet Union. In comparison to Poland. Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria (herein, the non-Soviet republics or Central Europe) which 1previously investigated, they were notable for a general lack of useful data on the human health impact of environmental pollution. This difference could not be attributed to an absence of public health agencies similar to those found in the non- Soviet republics since, in a superficial sense, the institutional structures are quite similar all across Central and Eastern Europe. However, the Baltic republics seemed to have additional obstacles to the effective evaluation of environmental health problems not encountered in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria. In the Baltics, the agencies responsible for environmental measurement and public health investigation tended to have stronger reporting relationships with Moscow than with each other. This lead to alow degree of inter-agency co-operation and made the agencies susceptible to manipulation according to interests which conflicted with their (theoretical) mandate to protect the public's health. -

Fibre Towards a Gigabit Society Report
Fibre towards a Gigabit society June 2020 Economic & Financial Analysis Credit Research and Strategy 22 June 2020 Telecoms T Fibre towards a Gigabit society Coverage diverges significantly in Europe Fixed networks have gained significant importance during the outbreak of Covid- 19. Fixed data usage surged by up to 80%, as a result of people working from home and increased demand for home entertainment. We believe that one of the effects from Covid-19 is that many companies will adopt best practices learned during the lockdown period and that these will be structurally incorporated in their business models. This includes working more from home. Therefore, we expect there will be more demand for higher network speeds. Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) networks will become increasingly important in a Gigabit society, but there is still a large divergence in coverage among European countries and operators need to invest significantly to make their networks future-proof. Telecom companies are increasingly focusing on FTTH and cable operators are upgrading their networks to Docsis3.1 in order to be able to offer 1Gbps broadband download speeds in the future. FTTH passive and active technologies are also able to support the back-haul and front-haul telecom networks more efficiently when rolling out 5G. A fibre network is a long-term investment, with an anticipated lifetime of at least 25 years. Furthermore, quality infrastructure and higher download speeds are an important element in the convergence strategies of providers as consumer experience is key. In Europe, there is still a big divergence in FTTH coverage among the countries. -
