Economic impacts of submarine fiber optic cables and broadband connectivity i...Fola Odufuwa
Subsea cables are the global backbone of the Internet, connecting people, businesses, and economies around the world. They connect us to the cloud, deliver streaming video, and increase efficiency and productivity for business. Subsea cables’ importance is all the more apparent during the Covid19 pandemic when many of us have switched to working from home, remote learning, and online gaming and entertainment.
We studied the economic impacts from subsea cables that arrived in Nigeria (e.g., WACS) to understand how they changed the economy. Improved connectivity led to increases in internet usage and decreases in costs, but infrastructure and affordability challenges meant that impacts were limited to select urban areas. Our results signal the promise connectivity improvements could have in other parts of the country.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

8. WHY BROADBAND?
The World Bank used a cross sectional analysis to examine the impact of various ICTs including fixed broadband on
GDP growth during the period 1980-2006 for 120 developing and developed countries. The study concludes that ‘a
10 percentage point increase in fixed broadband penetration would increase GDP growth by 1.21% in developed
economies and 1.38% in developing ones’.
In contrast, Thomas and Garbacz (2011), assert that ‘every 10 percentage point increase in mobile broadband
household penetration reduces GDP per household by 0.52’.
The study concludes that this result could be due to nonproductive applications of mobile broadband technology
where it might be an uneconomic substitute or complement to existing
fixed broadband.
Another truth has been accepted worldwide –
‘each 1000 fixed-broadband connection creates 8 new jobs’.

14. CHALLENGES OF BROADBAND SECTOR OF BANGLADESH
New ISP Guideline
ILDTS Policy : 4 layers
Infrastructure Sharing Guideline of 2008
Tariff Policy
Local Content: Lack of locally relevant content
Price: Price for Broadband access at rural area.
Cost of connectivity: High costs of transmission; Absence of National Broadband Network
Fiscal policies: High taxes and duties, and lack of fiscal incentives for faster Broadband growth.
Illegal ISPs: 4500+
15. RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend the following actions to be taken to ensure higher broadband penetration in Bangladesh:
Omit the IIG from the value chain.
Declare blanket tax holiday for internet related services.
Fix ceiling and floor price for NTTN service.
Award more NTTN licenses to keep the market competitive.
Disallow companies to get to multiple license within the value chain.
Keep the government-built transmission network free to use for licensed ISP.
Deploy more government investment in nationwide fiber optics backbone infrastructure.
Shutdown all Illegal ISPs
16. CONCLUSIONS
Available data, studies, researches and practical outcomes suggest Broadband is the most appropriate sector that
needed to be addressed with highest priority to ensure sustainable economic growth both in developed and
developing countries.
While a 10 percentage point increase in fixed-broadband penetration boosts GDP growth by 1.38%, same amount
of increase in mobile-broadband decrees GDP by .52% per household. These findings are not at all surprizing,
given the extravagant usage of mobile broadband in comparatively non-productive activities like social-networking,
video-streaming or instant messaging. At the same time, a significant portion of fixed-broadband traffic is dedicated
in economically fruitful activities like Ecommerce, Banking, Email Correspondences or cloud storage.
Even the current state of Fixed-Broadband in Bangladesh has it’s own significance too - despite of visible gap
between the number of mobile and fixed broadband users per available data, APNIC recognises an almost 50/50
balance between Telco & ISP users in Bangladesh.
Whereas, each thousand fixed-broadband creates 8 new jobs, ensuring broadband connections for more than 32
million households, with virtually equal male/female ratio, means creating 256 thousand employment opportunities
accordingly.
To reach near to this target, we, as a country like Bangladesh, should follow the development initiatives taken by
countries like Singapore or Malaysia.
