FCC to launch emergency text alert system April 10, 2008 Federal regulators approved a proposal to institute a nationwide emergency alert system that will notify subscribers via of terrorist threats, natural disasters and child abductions via mobile messaging. The text notification program is a product of the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law requiring the Federal Communications Commission to develop upgrades to the emergency alert system. Although the alert program boasts strong wireless industry support, operator participation is voluntary--similarly, consumers may opt out of the program, although they will not be charged for any alerts they receive. Emergency messages will be delivered with a unique audio signature, or what the FCC calls a "vibration cadence." The emergency alert program is expected to launch by 2010.

Global Consortium to Construct New Cable System Linking US and Japan to Meet Increasing Bandwidth Demands Construction Underway to Build 10,000 km Linear Cable System with a Capacity of up to 7.68 Tbps to Enhance Trans-Pacific Connectivity - Last update: 6:30 p.m. EST Feb. 25, 2008 TOKYO, Feb 25, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- A consortium of six international companies announced they have executed agreements to build a high-bandwidth subsea fiber optic cable linking the United States and Japan. The construction of the new Trans-Pacific infrastructure will cost an estimated US$300 million. The new cable system -- named Unity -- will address broadband demand by providing much needed capacity to sustain the unprecedented growth in data and Internet traffic between Asia and the United States. Unity is expected to initially increase Trans-Pacific lit cable capacity by about 20 percent, with the potential to add up to 7.68 Terabits per second (Tbps) of bandwidth across the Pacific. According to the TeleGeography Global Bandwidth Report, 2007, Trans-Pacific bandwidth demand has grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 63.7 percent between 2002 and 2007. It is expected to continue to grow strongly from 2008 to 2013, with total demand for capacity doubling roughly every two years.

Race is on to lay undersea fiber optic cable on eastern Africa coast NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Plans to lay an undersea fiber-optic cable off eastern Africa could be the beginning of the end of crackling long-distance calls, slow dial-up Internet connections and universities without e-mail. Four projects are in the works to link 22 eastern, central and southern African countries to the world's network of submarine cables and 21st century communications. They would enable cheaper international calls with no static and fast Internet access. The first cable could be finished as early as March 2008. At the moment, the Indian Ocean's eastern African seabed is the only one in the world without a submarine fiber-optic cable, forcing the region to rely heavily on limited and expensive satellite links. As a result, countries along the coast and in its hinterland have some of the highest communications costs in the world.
