    Undersea Cables: A Silent Threat to Global Connectivity

    NEXUS International Broadcasting Association NEXUS International Broadcasting Association Beyond Global WavesThe vulnerability of undersea cables as critical internet infrastructure is a growing concern, with recent events highlighting their susceptibility to both accidental damage and deliberate acts of cyber warfare and hybrid warfare. The Latvia State Radio and Television Centre (LVRTC) experienced a disruption to its data transmission on 26th January 2025 in the Baltic Sea, demonstrating the fragility of these vital communication networks. Further adding to the geopolitical risk, the Russian vessel Yantar was observed near critical infrastructure in the Irish Sea in late 2024. This incident underscores the potential for targeted attacks on digital infrastructure, making telecommunications security a priority. These events highlight the need for robust critical infrastructure protection measures and a thorough vulnerability assessment. Alternatives like satellite internet, such as Starlink, are not a complete solution due to bandwidth limitations and their own vulnerabilities to electronic warfare. GPS jamming and GPS spoofing are increasingly employed tactics, as demonstrated during the 2017 Zapad exercises when Latvia experienced disruptions, and aircraft over Norway lost GPS signals, underlining the need for network resilience. The need for international cooperation, increased defence spending, and enhanced maritime security in areas like the Baltic Sea and Irish Sea is critical. Addressing hybrid threats and bolstering information security are essential to safeguarding these vital connections and maintaining global stability. NATO, Russia, Latvia, and Ireland are all key players in this complex landscape.

    The AI Cold War: DeepSeek’s Breakthrough and the Battle for Global Supremacy

    NEXUS International Broadcasting Association NEXUS International Broadcasting Association Beyond Global WavesThis episode of Beyond Global Waves examines the geopolitical and economic disruption caused by China's DeepSeek AI. DeepSeek, a relatively new Chinese AI startup, has developed a highly capable, open-source AI model, R1, that rivals those of leading US tech firms like OpenAI, but at a fraction of the cost. This cost-effectiveness is achieved through innovative training methodologies and optimization techniques reducing the need for high-end hardware. The podcast will explore how this development is challenging the traditional, proprietary nature of AI development and how DeepSeek's open-source approach fosters a new kind of collaborative innovation, but it is also a marker in the US-China AI tech race. The podcast also discusses the market reactions to DeepSeek's emergence, with a noticeable decline in the stock values of some US tech companies. This highlights that DeepSeek's technology is not just a scientific breakthrough, but also a major market disruptor. Beyond Global Waves will also investigate how the US is responding to this new challenge. The US has used export controls on advanced AI chips to restrict China's AI development, but DeepSeek's progress suggests that these may not be sufficient. The episode may ask whether a new US strategy that focuses on innovation and international collaboration is necessary for maintaining leadership in the AI domain. The post The AI Cold War: DeepSeek’s Breakthrough and the Battle for Global Supremacy first appeared on NEXUS International Broadcasting Association.

    Staying Connected During Internet Shutdowns

    NEXUS International Broadcasting Association NEXUS International Broadcasting Association Beyond Global WavesIn this episode of Beyond Global Waves, we explore the linked issues of internet shutdowns and the decline of shortwave radio, both impacting global information access. Authoritarian regimes are using internet shutdowns to suppress dissent, while the reduction in shortwave radio leaves populations more vulnerable to propaganda, particularly in rural areas. Internet shutdowns, which include complete blackouts and social media restrictions, have severe economic consequences, costing the global economy $7.69 billion in 2024 with 167 major outages in 28 countries, and leading to human rights abuses. The most affected countries include Pakistan, Myanmar and Sudan. The decline in shortwave radio availability removes a key source of unbiased information, especially for those lacking reliable internet, making them susceptible to state-controlled narratives. To counter these challenges, support for digital rights and media literacy is essential. Tools like VPNs and encrypted communication platforms can help navigate internet shutdowns, and understanding how governments censor information through methods like keyword filtering and national firewalls is important. Furthermore, maintaining shortwave radio broadcasts can help ensure access to uncensored information for those without internet. International cooperation is vital to combat these threats. In Iran, during the 2019 'Bloody November' protests, a total internet shutdown lasted nine days. In Zimbabwe, human rights practitioners lack support for shutdowns.

    IPv4 vs. IPv6: Bridging the Digital Divide

    NEXUS International Broadcasting Association NEXUS International Broadcasting Association Beyond Global WavesThe internet connects billions of devices, each requiring a unique address provided by the Internet Protocol (IP). For decades, IPv4, with its 32-bit addresses, has served this purpose. However, the explosion of devices and global internet access has outgrown IPv4’s capacity, paving the way for IPv6, which uses 128-bit addresses to support trillions of connections. Despite its potential, the transition to IPv6 has been slow, exposing deep inequalities. Wealthier nations and large organizations can afford the costly infrastructure and expertise needed to adopt IPv6. Meanwhile, developing countries and smaller organizations struggle to keep up, relying on outdated IPv4 and workarounds like NAT, which limit access to the open, scalable internet. This disparity risks fragmenting the internet, denying equal opportunities to participate and grow. Bridging the gap requires global efforts to support IPv6 adoption, ensuring the internet remains a tool for connection, not division. Transitioning to IPv6 isn’t just about technology—it’s about building an inclusive digital future.
