Digital Communication – Current State, Trends, Risks and Opportunities

Prof. Mischa Dohler (King’s College London) participates in Risk Roundup to discuss – Digital Communication – Current State, Trends, Risks, and Opportunities. Digital Communication – Current State, Trends, Risks, and Opportunities Digital communication is at the core of the Digital Global Age. As the digital global age drives the need for more data, more information, more innovation, and more bandwidth, the telecommunications industry remains of crucial importance to each nation: its government, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals (NGIOA-I). The health, advances, security, and sustainability of this industry affect not only each nation’s economy but in many ways the very existence of the digital global age and the coming tomorrow of the space age. When we evaluate communication, it seems nations have come a long way from smoke signals and drums to the telecommunication industry of today which uses electromagnetic waves and electronic transmitters to connect people, processes, talent, opportunity, resources and so much more. It is because of this industry that telephone, television, radio, computers, satellites, and the internet of things now allow communication to travel across NGIOA in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS). This industry has produced some of the most incredible fundamental technological changes in the history of nations, and all within perhaps little less than two centuries. It is because of this industry that we see the critical process of digitization happening across each NGIOA today. Even today in 2016, this industry is making great advances and innovations in all sectors: from wireless technology to the internet, and satellite communications, and more. Because of the advances in information, communication, and digitization technology, there is widespread “digital disruption” happening across NGIOA. This is forcing even the telecommunication industry itself to invest heavily in innovation, and in the development of needed technology for today and the coming tomorrow.
