(Sub)sea to sky: the future of digital connectivity in the Indo-Pacific
For decades, global communications networks have followed economic activity and trade lines, driven by growing demands from the market for bandwidth and speed. But increasingly, modern global communications are being shaped by reinvigorated ideas of security and sovereignty, emerging ‘hyperscale’ actors, and new technologies like 5/6G, AI and edge-based services.
In this session, government and industry experts analysed the critical infrastructure networks that underpin our hyper-connected society: who owns and secures them and how that ownership and control will shape our future communications and geopolitical landscape.
Speakers in this session included: Lord Fakafanua, Tonga's Speaker of Parliament, Mihoko Matsubara, Chief Cybersecurity Strategist at NTT Corporation, Shigehiro Tanaka, Corporate Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Government Affairs Officer at NEC and the Hon Tim Watts MP, Australia's Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs.
