News Release Southeast Asia-Japan (SJC) Cable System News Release Southeast Asia-Japan (SJC) Cable System strengthens connectivity in 7 territories Singapore, 27 June, 2013 – The SJC Parties, today announced that the Southeast Asia-Japan Cable (SJC) system is now operational. The system, supplied by TE SubCom and NEC Corporation provides connectivity to key destinations to meet the growing bandwidth requirement in the region and allow for cost effective and resilient connectivity to other submarine cable systems. Operated by a global consortium of telecommunications and technology companies, the SJC cable system links the seven countries or territories of Brunei, mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the Philippines, including the option to link with Thailand. The SJC is an 8,900-kilometer cable system, which could further extend to 9,700 kilometers. At a project cost of around US$400 million, the SJC cable system consists of 6 fiber pairs with the initial design capacity of 28 Terabits per second to meet bandwidth-intensive applications such as internet TV, online games and enterprise data exchange. To illustrate, the cable’s design capacity can support simultaneous streaming of up to 3 million high-definition videos. Mr Ooi Seng Keat, spokesperson for the SJC consortium and SingTel’s Vice President, Carrier Services International Business Unit, Group Enterprise said: “The SJC system signals a milestone for the seven Asia Pacific countries in the consortium as it will set a new benchmark in global data and information connectivity. The SJC is interconnected seamlessly with the latest transpacific cable, and which together will deliver the lowest latency connectivity between Asia and the U.S., specifically from Singapore to Los Angeles. As the SJC cable route avoids the earthquake zone in North Asia, it enhances the operators’ network resilience by offering cable diversity and reliability in the event of a cable breakage in other undersea networks. “Equipped with the highest available transmission speed for an undersea cable network, the SJC will be able to carry more bandwidth-intensive applications which can transform the way enterprises and consumers in the region work, live, learn and play. The SJC’s huge bandwidth will be able to meet the capacity needs of future applications and innovative solutions, and spur the development of information and communications technology in the region,” he added. Singapore Telecommunications Limited Company registration number: 199201624D Page 1 of 7 “Today marks a significant milestone for the international telecommunications community to better serve the ever growing demand for more bandwidth in Asia and beyond.” said Mr. Shunichiro Tejima, Senior Vice President at NEC, “We are pleased to be a part of this important project, and will continue to dedicate our strength to the development of telecommunication infrastructure in these and other countries across the globe.” “We join SJC and NEC in recognizing the completion of this landmark project which we began together in 2011,” said David Coughlan, President, TE SubCom. “As anticipated at the project inception, we believe this system will have a significant effect on how this region interacts and communicates with the rest of the world by connecting key landing sites while also providing the ability to connect other systems.” The SJC is a global consortium of companies composed of Brunei International Gateway Sendirian Berhad (BIG), China Mobile International Ltd.

  • Economic Regulation of Airports Using the ATRS Database for the Following Indicators
    B Performance of Australia’s airports — sensitivity analysis The Commission compared the monitored airports — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth — against a selection of overseas airports, for different indicators of airport performance (chapter 5). The Commission based some of its analysis on data from the Air Transport Research Society (ATRS) Airport Benchmarking Report (ATRS 2018). That report contains information for more than 200 airports in 2016. The Commission presented results for a sample of airports with more than 10 million passengers in chapter 5 of its draft report Economic Regulation of Airports using the ATRS database for the following indicators: whole of airport operating costs per passenger (figure 5.4) input utilisation rates per million passengers (figure 5.5) – runways – terminal area – gates aeronautical revenue per passenger (figure 5.11) Results for revenue and whole of airport operating costs per passenger were adjusted using both nominal United States Dollars (USD) and USD adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) (box 5.3). The sensitivity of results was checked by using other samples of airports (box 5.2) and are presented below. Results are annotated with three-letter International Air Transport Association codes to allow readers to identify the airports in each sample (codes and corresponding airports are listed in table B.1). The qualitative conclusions in chapter 5 are generally robust to variations in the sample of airports chosen, with some exceptions noted in chapter 5. PERFORMANCE OF AUSTRALIA'S

  • The Founder of the Brothers of the Christian School, Patron of All
    The Hong Kong Lasallian Story 1875-2007 Our Founder The Founder of the Brothers of the Christian School, St. John Baptist de La Salle (1651-1719), was an extraordinary man. Perhaps you could call him a man of surprises. For purposes of this chapter, we highlight two. Firstly, although De La Salle himself was a priest, he would not permit the members of the Institute he founded to become priests lest they should be turned aside from their principal function, and he was convinced that their vocation could lead them to authentic sanctity1. Secondly, members of his Institute were to be called Brothers. They were to be Brothers first among themselves and also elder brothers to the students confided to their care. To them, to be a Brother is a profession as well as a vocation. The mission as he saw it was to give a human and Christian education to the young, paying particular attention to the poor and the needy. He had walked the streets of his native city, Reims, in France, and saw first hand the dire need for this work. The children were wandering around the streets aimlessly or mixing with bad company and getting into trouble with the law. Their parents were working all day and so had little time to take care of them. As a very practical man, he realized that the key to success lay with finding and forming good teachers, not an easy task in those days. He believed that ‘good teachers make good schools’. Throughout his life, and despite great opposition from both Church and State, he worked tirelessly to establish quality Christian schools.
