Did you know decentralized wireless, also known as DeWi, is revolutionizing the way we connect to the internet?
Here are 8 reasons why #DeWi is the future of telecommunications 👇

1. Increased security 🔒
With no central point of control, there are fewer attack vectors for hackers to exploit. This means your data is much safer on a decentralized network.

If a node in a decentralized network goes offline, the network continues to function as the data is stored and distributed among other nodes.

Pakistan's internet connectivity 📶 is facing some bumps in the road, and it seems like letters of credit 📜 may be partially to blame.

According to a recent report, the Universal Service Fund (USF) has encountered problems importing telecom machinery📱due to the lack of LCs, and the Senate is taking steps to address the issue.
On a brighter note, the PTA is working on an international internet project 💻 and has assured the Senate that efforts are being made to improve internet accessibility in Balochistan's Gwadar.
@MichelTdS and I wrote a #review on the last decade of #brain #connectivity #research for a special issue in @ScienceMagazine : 'circuits create networks by stringing together many brain regions to orchestrate brain symphony conducted by finely attuned connections.' A 🧵
First things first, the #cover shows that the corpus callosum has different axonal calibres, as shown in a cross-section of the axons. Warmer colours (red-yellow) indicate thicker axons. These finely attuned connections allow for the perfect orchestration of the brain symphony.
There is a growing consensus: functions are an emerging property of the interaction between brain areas. Function-specific brain activity involves the integrative effort of several brain regions. White matter connections support this integration by interconnecting brain regions

#telecommunications #infrastructure ownership is something we're going to have to somehow find a nice balance in, particularly for #submarinecables, our primary means of trans-oceanic digital communications. 🧵1/
On the one hand, it's great for #DigitalDevelopment and #digital #connectivity that more telco infra is going in. But infrastructure is expensive... 2/
So some telcos want content providers (big tech like Facebook and Google) to share the cost, which makes sense if content makes up a big chunk of the internet traffic. 🗞️🔗👉Platform content makes up 55% of internet traffic in #France #Italy #Spain. 3/ reuters.com/business/media…

I'm not a big fan of umbrella terms like #sustainability, #connectivity, and now #intermittence.
In #interdisciplinary teams, negotiating a common language is difficult. I actually think its often MORE difficult when we share common terms with slightly diverging definitions

How do we steward #forests & #borderlands in a time of human upheaval & migration? Not by building border walls. Our letter @ScienceMagazine about how Poland’s planned wall would threaten transboundary #Białowieża Forest @MZmihorski @UNESCO @BonnConvention science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Transboundary frontiers are an emerging conservation priority as they often overlap #biodiversity hotspots & are threatened by construction of border infrastructure. Neighboring countries must co-steward wildlife that cross manmade lines @EcologyJiajia sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
We know from research on the US-Mexico border that walls do not deter people but do impede wildlife, including low-flying birds like pygmy owls. Barriers are an increasing global trend that fragment #connectivity of habitats & populations @ljevanso academic.oup.com/bioscience/art…

3SI is a political platform of 12 EU states, aimed at developing intra-regional connectivity (transport, energy, digital, people), complementing existing EU frameworks. It's got its own investment fund, got high-level 🇺🇸🇩🇪 endorsements etc. (find more details in our report)

CEE was the fastest growing EU region after the 2004 enlargement. 3SI's share in EU GDP rose from 15,2% to 19,2%. With a flood of FDIs, it became EU's industrial backbone, esp. crucial for Germany (the 3SI region generates 19,8% of 🇩🇪's trade, more than any major partner)
