He said BCE would support Teleglobe's $5 billion effort to span the globe with fiber optic and satellite connections.
Mainframe and personal computing, fibre optic and satellite communications, autonomous and robotic systems, the Internet and many other disruptive innovations have not only changed the technical nature of work, they have also greatly altered its social and organisational nature.
It means a reality removed from the fibre-optic cables, satellite uplinks, cellular phones, computer screens and cyberspace networks.
The original 2004 fiber-optic and satellite Internet connections permitted transfer speeds up to a gigabyte per second.
The national intelligence director's rare Saturday statement was notable for what it omitted: any description of other means the government may use to intercept Internet information directly from fiber optic cables or satellite systems even before or after it reaches those Internet companies.
In theory, the United States could sever fibre-optic cables, destroy satellite dishes, and knock out cellular towers.
Cable companies compete with streaming video, fiber-optic networks and satellite service, and one way they compete is with their interfaces.
The Greek Cypriot sector became a major international telecommunications hub in the 1990s, installing submarine fibre-optic cables and satellite linkup facilities.
Nature the biosphere is now encased within the cybersphere, and though the current instantiation is somewhat crude, made of machines and fiber optic networks and satellites and electromagnetic signals, I think that will probably change very soon.
Such tight resolution will be impossible for Lidar to achieve in the foreseeable future, as neither the frequency of measurements nor the optic sensitivity of the satellites is adequate.
