MITRE’s Post

I had the privilege to lead an amazing team of telecommunication, geo-political, socio-technical, economic, gaming, and modelling experts to conduct smart port research related to the digital silk road and critical infrastructure vulnerabilities. MITRE funded our efforts to investigate these critical topics. We recently updated some of our reports because we continue to have government interest in understanding the threats and opportunities in this competition space. https://lnkd.in/dt8jpcsg Nancy Ross, Kathryn Szot, and Maggie Vencill outline five considerations for assessing the impact of China’s push for digital dominance. http://spklr.io/6040SXYM

Having worked in the telecom sector internationally for many years, it is very inspiring for me to analyse how #regulation in the #telecom sector is currently evolving in #africa. In its early stage of #telecom liberalization, #Ethiopia is moving forward in regulating the telecommunications sector. The Ethiopian Communications Authority (ECA) published the results of its first analysis of relevant telecommunications markets. It also set the maximum fixed, mobile and SMS network termination rates applicable in Ethiopia until April 2029. Both ECA decisions regard very material aspects of the telecom business, including the possibility for the new entrant, Safaricom Telecommunications Ethiopia PLC, to get access to physical infrastructure of the incumbent, ethio telecom. The interconnection decision is based on a newly adopted cost model. Other African regulatory authorities have been working on cost models in recent years, including most recently in #southafrica. All of the above is addressed in a short report accessible under the Global Tech Trends Cullen International service. If interested, do not hesitate to get in touch. https://lnkd.in/dXHu2h9G

The report presented by Enrico Letta on the future of the European Single Market sets out a roadmap for the new European political and institutional cycle 2024-2029 with the aim of strengthening Europe's economy and competitiveness, as well as the well-being of its citizens. It is very relevant that the report advocates for a degree of consolidation in national markets in order to achieve the local scale necessary to make the sector attractive to investors and to ensure its viability and dynamism. The report also highlights the risk of discouraging investment if sector regulation continues to focus on facilitating the entry of new competitors at all costs. And the report underlines that existing sector-specific regulation has created significant regulatory asymmetries between telecom operators and large gatekeepers in many relevant digital markets. This has led to imbalances in the relationship between the different players. It therefore recommends that additional guidance be provided on network neutrality rules to address innovative use cases, such as those enabled by the network slicing feature of the 5G network. All in all, a very welcome report. More insights in the following article.

Because the Indo-Pacific will retain its strategic significance for China as it rolls out next-generation tech and seeks partners in normalising its authoritarian approach to digital governance, the report argues that assessing China’s regional partnerships and what they mean for rising digital repression in the region is vital to understanding China’s ambitions to rewire the world and rewrite the rules that govern the digital space. https://lnkd.in/d2KJwb8y

In the fourth in our series of blog posts on the key areas of ‘financial opportunity’ set out in the January keynote to Parliament from the Comptroller and Auditor General of the UK National Audit Office (NAO), Gareth Davies we look at public sector digital transformation. We outline how innovation-friendly public procurement is indivisible from digital transformation, and why a paradigm shift towards thinking holistically about the entire commercial lifecycle is vital for both. https://lnkd.in/eh36nJRd World Economic Forum G20 Global Smart Cities Alliance International Telecommunication Union Anu D.
