I cavi sottomarini trasportano la quasi totalità del traffico Internet intercontinentale, ma molte rotte convergono in pochi corridoi e stretti: è lì che la fragilità diventa sistemica.
Dal Mar Rosso agli altri chokepoint globali, fino alla risposta dell’UE: NIS2, CER, Regional Cable Hubs e la call da 40 milioni di euro per la capacità di riparazione, con l’Italia alla guida dell’hub mediterraneo.

Submarine cables carry almost all intercontinental Internet traffic, yet many routes converge in a small number of corridors and straits — and that is where fragility becomes systemic.
From the Red Sea and other global chokepoints to the EU response: NIS2, CER, Regional Cable Hubs and the €40 million repair-capacity call, with Italy leading the Mediterranean hub.

Turkey deployed a missile boat to stop a cable ship wiring Greek Islands to the Internet claiming its paperwork was wrong. We have PostgreSQL and Python scripts (#humblebrag).
The paperwork was not wrong. We pulled the paperwork. It's 76.96km long.

Cable Retriever (GB) confirmed on dynamic positioning hold off Tamsui, Taiwan, 8h+ on station as of 5:34 UTC today.
Coordinating with Ile d'Aix (FR), reported on station since May 9, per open sources.
Both repairing the Taiwan-Matsu No.3 cable, damaged in April by a Chinese salvage barge.
This is what the infrastructure war looks like.
Of course, one can safely assume there is nothing strategically noteworthy about repeated disruptions to critical communications infrastructure in one of the world’s most contested theatres. Merely an unfortunate sequence of maritime coincidences.

Sabotage on the seabed: How can Europe protect itself?
Several recent submarine data-cable breaks in the Baltic Sea have exposed the vulnerability of critical underwater infrastructure. Russia is suspected of having been involved in the damage.
Europe is ill-prepared for such attacks in the future.

This starts to look coordinated:
"Following Finnish media reports that an unexplained failure of an undersea telecommunications cable has disrupted communication services between Finland and Germany, Telia’s Chief Technology Officer Andrius Šemeškevičius says that the communications cable between Lithuania and Sweden was also damaged." (via @ErikJonker)

Why are #SubmarineCables more important than ever?
And how can submarine cable agreements between #Research & #Education Networks contribute to #InternetGovernance and #Diplomacy?
Hendrik Ike (GÉANT) takes us "Five Hundred Cables Under the Seas", for an in-depth exploration of this topic: https://connect.geant.org/2024/07/01/five-hundred-cables-under-the-seas

#Telegeography estimates the global international #routing #bandwidth to be at around 5Pbps. The largest growing market is #Africa with a compound annual growth of almost 50% between 2019 to 2023. Great to see how they are slowly catching up and having more growth than any other region globally. The global average lies somewhere between 35-40%.
Furthermore, they show how some hyper-giant cloud and content providers having the lion's share of sub-nautical bandwidth.
A brief, but very interesting read I recommend to everyone!
