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 Downloaded By: 10.3.98.104 At: 09:56 27 Sep 2021; For: 9780203115398, chapter23, 10.4324/9780203115398.ch23 Lionel Carter and Douglas R.

  • The Relationship Between Local Content, Internet Development and Access Prices
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL CONTENT, INTERNET DEVELOPMENT AND ACCESS PRICES This research is the result of collaboration in 2011 between the Internet Society (ISOC), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The first findings of the research were presented at the sixth annual meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) that was held in Nairobi, Kenya on 27-30 September 2011. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of ISOC, the OECD or UNESCO, or their respective membership. FOREWORD This report was prepared by a team from the OECD's Information Economy Unit of the Information, Communications and Consumer Policy Division within the Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry. The contributing authors were Chris Bruegge, Kayoko Ido, Taylor Reynolds, Cristina Serra- Vallejo, Piotr Stryszowski and Rudolf Van Der Berg. The case studies were drafted by Laura Recuero Virto of the OECD Development Centre with editing by Elizabeth Nash and Vanda Legrandgerard. The work benefitted from significant guidance and constructive comments from ISOC and UNESCO. The authors would particularly like to thank Dawit Bekele, Constance Bommelaer, Bill Graham and Michuki Mwangi from ISOC and Jānis Kārkliņš, Boyan Radoykov and Irmgarda Kasinskaite-Buddeberg from UNESCO for their work and guidance on the project. The report relies heavily on data for many of its conclusions and the authors would like to thank Alex Kozak, Betsy Masiello and Derek Slater from Google, Geoff Huston from APNIC, Telegeography (Primetrica, Inc) and Karine Perset from the OECD for data that was used in the report.
