Aaron Weis, who became the Navy CIO in September, said during a March 2 keynote luncheon at the AFCEA West 2020 conference in San Diego that the service’s networks were overly complex and, therefore, difficult to defend. “I would argue our networks are holding us back,” he said.

And on the topic of cyber security, he said “the Department of Navy is losing our information every day to our adversaries. We’re leaking our information out whether it’s from direct exfiltration or through the defense industrial base.”

“Given the increased telework demand, we’ve seen a tremendous increase on the network. Unprecedented demand just over the last weekend or so,” Essye Miller, said.

She explained that, as a result of the increased demand on the DOD networks, they are asking that streaming services such as Pandora be limited if they are not mission essential. She also noted that access to YouTube will be blocked.

We’re on the Road to Somewhere: GM Maps its Electric Vehicle Future | Design News

General Motors is pledging to invest $20 billion through 2025 to roll out a raft of new electric models across the company’s range of vehicle segments. “Those are engineering and capital numbers,” emphasized GM CEO Mary Barra. “Those aren’t numbers that have crazy things added to it to make it look big.”

That investment will drive battery cell cost from $145 per kilowatt-hour to less than $100/kWh early in the lifecycle, with a path toward still lower prices. This will fuel sales of a million EVs per year in the combined U.S. and Chinese markets.

This progress is based on GM’s new family of pouch-based lithium-ion battery cells it will build through a joint venture with LG Chem.

International over-the-top (OTT) voice traffic reached 1 trillion minutes in 2019, compared to just 432 billion minutes of international carrier traffic.

According to TeleGeography, the new figures come as a result of its annual update to its report and database with refreshed pricing, revenues, traffic volumes and other key performance indicators (KPIs) in the international voice market.

Other key findings from the updated report show that international voice revenues are estimated to have declined from $99 billion at their peak in 2012 to just $60 billion in 2019.

Travel bans because of coronavirus will cost the mobile phone industry US$25 billion between now and the end of 2020, according to new analysis.

And operators do not have any real strategy to mitigate the risk, says Juniper Research, which has carried out the study.

“Revenues lost through the travel ban will not be recoverable and these must be considered lost revenues,” said Sam Barker, head of forecasting at the company.
