While the Baltic Sea incidents did not cripple internet services, they exposed systemic vulnerabilities in subsea infrastructure.
Tony O’Sullivan, CEO of RETN points out that the Nordic and Baltic regions are not immune to these risks: “These events expose the broader weaknesses of Nordic and Baltic telecom infrastructure.” Although alternative routes mitigated the immediate impact, the reliance on a limited number of pathways reveals a concerning lack of redundancy in critical areas.
For O’Sullivan, the takeaway is clear: the industry must adopt a global perspective to future-proof its networks.
