“This is about more than just the internet.” Toptana, the first subsea cable company owned by a sovereign Indian Nation is taking matters into their own hands. Reliable high-speed connectivity is essential to thriving in the modern economy. But many communities, including many Tribal and other rural communities, don’t have it. Recent studies have shown that less than one-quarter of households in indigenous communities have access to quality, high-speed internet. Thirty-three percent (33%) of reservation residents rely on cell phone service for at-home internet. https://lnkd.in/eZSxd49Y --- #ftth #fibertothehome #internet #broadbandforall #broadband #IndigenousCommunities #telecom #fiberopticnetworks

The interim government has withdrawn the decision to give India a 'bandwidth transit' in an atmosphere of tension. New Delhi applied for 'bandwidth transit' facilities using the territory of Bangladesh to increase mobile internet connection in the states of Northeast India. But the proposal was rejected by the 'Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission' (BTRC). Incidentally, the amount of information sent per second is called bandwidth or data transmission speed. Dr. A source in the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus said that this decision has been taken due to fear that Bangladesh's role as a regional digital hub may be weakened. BTRC issued a directive in this regard on December 1. During the Awami League government, Bangladesh's 'Summit Communications' and 'Fiber at Home', the Indian company 'Bharati Airtel Limited', applied to BTRC for permission to establish transit connections from Akhaura to Singapore. It also got initial consent.

Dear Eskom, if I can draw your attention - and memory - to Telkom and its consumer telephony offerings. Faced with increasing competitive pressure about 30 years back, it elected to fight competition by regulation, and try to bar new competitors from entering the market. All these years later Telkom's telephony service is largely irrelevant having been overtaken by the entire ISP market, MTN, Vodacom etc. This was driven by consumers frustrated with bad service and poor offerings, among other factors. Had it perhaps focussed on improving its products and services, things may have been different. You may want to learn from this. #justsaying [yes this is a very tl;dr version] https://lnkd.in/dmtyNfHh?
