Les Sites Optiques Sous-Marins Région Atlantique École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne Travail réalisé par : Fabien GIRARD Les sites optiques sous-marins Région Atlantique 1 Introduction La région atlantique habrite les pays les plus dévelopées mais aussi les moins avancés de notre planète. Des pays qui ont un besoin constant de communiquer entre eux pour différentes raisons, comme les marchés boursiers, les communications d'informations des entreprises multinationales. Bien plus que l'économie mondiale, c'est la moitié de la communication et de l'information mondiale qui transite dans nos mers et océans. Considérés comme des centres stratégiques mondiaux, les centres habritant les câbles sous-marins ont vu le jour au cours des années 1970 afin d'assurer ces fonctions devenues vitales de nos jours.

BOEM should require applicants for permits or other authorizations for geological and geophysical prospecting or scientific research on the U.S. outer continental shelf (“OCS”) related to minerals other than oil, gas, and sulphur (collectively, “mineral prospecting activities”) to identify submarine cables in the vicinity of planned activities and explain how planned mineral prospecting activities will not “unreasonably interfere with” current and planned submarine cables and will ensure compliance with federal laws regarding damage to submarine cables.

    INTERNATIONAL BUREAU REPORT 2010 Section 43.82 Circuit Status Data March 2012 Cathy Hsu Policy Division 2010 Section 43.82 Circuit Status Data This report contains information on U.S.-international facilities-based common carriers’ circuits as of year-end 2010 that U.S. common carriers submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) pursuant to section 43.82 of the Commission’s rules.1 In addition to the 2010 data, for comparison purposes, this report includes data from previous reports covering 2007 through 2009.2 Overall, the reported number of activated 64 Kbps equivalent circuits grew by 58 percent in 2010. At year-end 2010, the reported number of activated 64 Kbps equivalent circuits totaled 24.8 million circuits as compared to 15.7 million circuits at year-end 2009. Reporting Requirements Section 43.82 of the Commission’s rules requires U.S.-international facilities-based common carriers to file an international circuit status report by March 31 each year for circuits used to provide international services as of December 31 of the preceding year.3 The detailed filing requirements are set forth in the Manual for Filing Section 43.82 Circuit Status Data, which is available on the Commission’s web site at http://transition.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/csmanual.html. Non-common carriers are not required by section 43.82 to report their circuits. Commission staff believes that a substantial amount of capacity is provided on a non-common carrier basis. The capacity reported here should not be interpreted as representing the total capacity used to provide international services.

In the Matter of Request for Feedback on BOEM’s Proposed BOEM 2018-0018 Path Forward for Future Offshore Renewable Energy Leasing on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf COMMENTS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN SUBMARINE CABLE ASSOCIATION Kent D. Bressie Susannah J. Larson HARRIS, WILTSHIRE & GRANNIS LLP 1919 M Street, N.W., Suite 800 Washington, D.C. 20036-3537 +1 202 730 1337 tel Counsel for the North American Submarine Cable Association 5 July 2018 To protect submarine cable infrastructure critical to the U.S. economy and U.S. national security, the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (“BOEM”) should expressly account for existing and planned submarine cable systems in its development of a path forward for future renewable leasing offshore the United States Atlantic Coast. BOEM’s Office of Renewable Energy Programs (“OREP”) has already developed Guidelines for Information Requirements for a Renewable Energy Construction and Operations Plan (“COP Guidelines”), which directs renewable energy project developers to the North American Submarine Cable Association (“NASCA”) and its mapping resources as a first step in coordination. Because the COP Guidelines only come into play at the project planning phase, there is some limit to the protections such coordination can afford submarine cables. As BOEM performs a high-level assessment of factors to consider for lease locations on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (“OCS”), NASCA urges BOEM to include factors that account for existing submarine cable infrastructure. Renewable energy projects on the Atlantic OCS pose significant risks to submarine cable infrastructure.

    Working Paper Series Barry Eichengreen Cables, Sharks and Servers: Romain Lafarguette and Arnaud Mehl Technology and the Geography of the Foreign Exchange Market No 1889 / March 2016 Note: This Working Paper should not be reported as representing the views of the European Central Bank (ECB). The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the ECB Abstract We analyze the impact of technology on production and trade in services, focusing on the foreign exchange market. We identify exogenous technological changes by the connection of countries to submarine fiber- optic cables used for electronic trading, but which were not laid for purposes related to the foreign exchange market. We estimate the impact of cable connections on the share of offshore foreign exchange transactions. Cable connections between local markets and matching servers in the major financial centers lower the fixed costs of trading currencies and increase the share of currency trades occurring onshore. At the same time, however, they attenuate the effect of standard spatial frictions such as distance, local market liquidity, and restrictive regulations that otherwise prevent transactions from moving to the major financial centers. Our estimates suggest that the second effect dominates. Technology dampens the impact of spatial frictions by up to 80 percent and increases, in net terms, the share of offshore trading by 21 percentage points. Technology also has economically important implications for the distribution of foreign exchange transactions across financial centers, boosting the share in global turnover of London, the world’s largest trading venue, by as much as one-third.
