Centralized Internet & Telecom A National Security Threat

Centralized Internet & Telecom A National Security Threat

 

The AT&T and CrowdStrike outages in 2024 exposed a national security threat associated with centralized internet and telecom regarding chokepoints that can take down internet trade and commerce while taking down mass communications and telecommunications services nation-wide causing a nationwide outage.

Microsoft, Apple, and Alphabet (Google) are responsible for internet centralization by way of monopolizing the operating system (Android, Apple iOS, & Wndows) market while controlling the global development and distribution of operating systems, apps, streaming services, social media platforms, digital content, cloud storage services, and AI integrated products and services posing massive threats to privacy, security, and safety.

AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are responsible for the nation-wide distribution of smartphones, tablet PCs, and other wireless connected products supported by the Android OS, Apple iOS, and Windows which support consumer, business, and government telecom subscribers, including those who work within critical infrastructure and are first responders.

AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are also responsible for centralized telecommunications where only three major telecom providers control access to cellular phone networks supported by licensed spectrum regulated by the FCC which also poses massive privacy, security, and safety threats regarding chokepoints, plus telecom products and services supported by predatory surveillance and data mining technologies and business practices.

Global threat actors, adversarial countries such as China, and criminal organizations understand the vulnerabilities associated with these single choke points and can exploit these check points regarding Tech-based Hybrid Warfare which can cause a nation-wide outage regarding the internet, mass communications, and telecom services with a single attack leaving America venerable to our advisories.
