Podcast appearances and mentions of doreen bogdan martin

Interview with Doreen Bogdan-Martin​​, Secretary-General, ITU at the Global Symposium for Regulators 2024 (GSR-24), Kampala, Uganda, 1- 4 July 2024. For further information please visit: http://www.itu.int/gsr24 #ITUGSR

Doreen Bogdan-Martin, ITU Secretary-General, discusses how meaningful connectivity can help bridge the digital divide. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), around 2.7 billion people – one-third of the global population – remained unconnected to the Internet in 2022. This persistent digital divide disproportionately affects women and girls, especially in rural areas and developing communities, leaving them outside of the rapidly growing digital economy. The ITU, a sister agency with which the UPU shares a long history of connecting people and a common goal of advancing universal digital inclusion, strives to use ICTs and technological innovations to transform people's lives, including those of women. In line with the global theme of International Women's Day 2023, the UPU invited Doreen Bogdan-Martin, ITU Secretary-General and the first woman to hold this post, to share her views on how digital technologies can open new opportunities for women and girls. She delved into how global digital partnerships, like Giga or connect.post, can help unlock this potential, and why transformative leadership is essential to bridge the digital gender gap and accelerate our progress towards a more equal, connected future.

The UN Secretary-General's Roadmap for Digital Cooperation and ‘Our Common Agenda' underscore the need for enhanced and improved digital cooperation. ITU and the Office of the UN Secretary-General's Envoy on Technology have been working closely to promote digital cooperation, including through the Partner2Connect Digital Coalition.In this episode, Doreen Bogdan-Martin speaks with Amandeep Singh Gill, UN Secretary-General's Envoy on Technology. Listen to find out more about his vision, the concept of the ‘'digital commons'', the proposed Global Digital Compact, and more!

Topic 1: The Open Internet as We Know It Dodged an Existential Bullet Last Week https://www.itu.int/en/mediacentre/Pages/PR-2022-09-29-ITU-SG-elected-Doreen-Bogdan-Martin.aspx https://www.brookings.edu/blog/techtank/2022/08/12/the-most-important-election-you-never-heard-of/ In an election for the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), members chose Doreen Bogdan-Martin from the United States – the first-ever woman to hold the post. But that is not the reason this election was monumentally important: it was literally a showdown between an open internet and an authoritarian-controlled internet. And almost every single human on Earth didn't know it even happened … or what the consequences may have been. Consider us lucky. Topic 2: Google Shuts Down Stadia Online Gaming Service … Does Google Have an Innovation Problem? https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-login-555c72e1-380a-4a69-affe-e8260ae5734e.html Google announced it's shutting down the 3-year old Stadia gaming service … the latest in a long line of big technical breakthroughs that Google has failed to turn into big business successes. Why did this (seemingly really cool) new service not succeed? And does this hint at a bigger issue about Google's ability to grow? Or … about the ability of tech giants in general to grow at a rate that is “enough” for their thirsty shareholders? Topic 3: Amazon Wants to Cocoon You With ‘Ambient Intelligence' The company's new smart gadget uses radar to track your breathing while you sleep. It's part of Amazon's plan to weave its products invisibly into your life. Meet “Halo Rise” - Because they couldn't come up with a creepier name. Consider it the opposite of the metaverse.  https://www.wired.com/story/amazon-wants-to-cocoon-you-with-ambient-intelligence/    Sponsor Memo: IT Service Provider University IT Service Provider University helps you improve the business side of your business.

GB2RS News Sunday the 9th of October 2022 The news headlines: RSGB Convention 2022 New RSGB Board Member Celebrating 100 Years of the BBC The RSGB's first hybrid Convention is this weekend. A selection of presentations is being live-streamed as well as interviews, videos and live operations by the special event station GB3HQ. You can watch some of the live stream if you want to join this event from where you live. Head over to the RSGB YouTube channel or follow the link from the live stream web page at rsgb.org/livestream. The RSGB Board is pleased to announce that John McCullagh, GI4BWM has been co-opted as a Board Director until the 2023 AGM. Many members will know John as he was ETCC Chairman from 2005 until 2017 and he is still the Northern Ireland ETCC representative. John worked for almost 40 years as a communications professional in the emergency services in Northern Ireland, retiring in 2005 and being awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours list for services to policing. Since then, he has worked as a communications consultant in Eastern Europe and in the past few years has, with his wife, volunteered with a children's charity in Tanzania. John was licensed in 1973 and has been active ever since, mainly on UHF and VHF. He has been involved with the repeater scene since the late 1970s when he installed the first repeater in Northern Ireland. He is also the Controller of a RAYNET Group in County Antrim and has been in that position since 1976. On the 18th of October 1922, the Marconi Company and other equipment manufacturers formed the British Broadcasting Company, which became the British Broadcasting Corporation six years later. To mark this momentous date exactly 100 years on, members of the BBC Amateur Radio Group have been invited by Arqiva to operate for the day at the Daventry transmitting station that was home to so much of BBC short-wave broadcasting over the years. Members of the BBC and Arqiva clubs will be operating HF on Tuesday the 18th of October from the Empire Service Building at the Daventry site. As well as GB100BBC, the callsign G2LO will be on air. 2LO was the callsign allocated to the very first BBC transmitter, built by Marconi and located at Savoy Hill in London. Keep an eye on the GB100BBC QRZ page for more information. The Caledonian Rally is an annual event that brings together 13- to 17-year-old Scouts and Guides from all over Scotland. This year the event takes place between the 14th and 16th of October. Inverness Amateur Radio Society will be running GB2CWR for the event as part of Jamboree on the Air. Aberdeen Amateur Radio Society members are helping with the station, but more experienced operators are sought, especially for set up and break down. Email InvernessRadioSociety@gmail.com. The Royal Air Force Air Cadets will be running the popular Blue Ham Exercise on the 22nd and 23rd of October from 0800 to 1800UTC each day.

Next Sunday, the 16th, the 50MHz AFS Contest runs from 0900 to 1300UTC. Using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. The RoLo CW Contest takes place between 1900 and 2030UTC next Sunday, the 16th. Using the 3.5MHz band, the exchange is signal report and the locator received. Also next Sunday, the UK Microwave Group 24 to 76GHz Contest runs from 0900 to 1700UTC. Using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Friday the 7th of October 2022 Yet another good week for HF propagation has passed, although it has been borderline in terms of geomagnetic disturbances. The Kp index hovered around the four mark all week, mainly due to high-speed streams from the solar wind, possibly from slight glancing blows from incoming CME material. There have been a few M-class solar flares, but nothing too violent. The risk of X-class flares though remains relatively high. The solar flux continued to climb despite pessimistic predictions, ending up at 161 and a sunspot number of 151 on Thursday. Daytime critical frequencies have been in the range of 7.5 - 8MHz, meaning 40m has been an excellent inter-G band during the day. MUFs over a 3,000km path have been exceeding 24.9MHz, and occasionally 28MHz, especially in the early afternoon. This has meant that HF propagation has been good with excellent openings on all the upper HF bands. Paul, GM4ULS has even reported hearing what we believe to be round-the-world echoes while listening to high-power European stations on 20m calling for long-path Asia, VK and ZL contacts in the morning. This is a sure sign that the ionosphere is playing ball! Next week the US Air Force predicts that the solar flux will remain in the 150s to start with, but may then decline into the 130s as the week progresses. The Kp index is predicted to be no more than three all week, although an incoming CME could soon spoil that. Coronal hole activity appears to be minimal, once we get past the effects of a small hole on the equator, which became Earth-facing on Wednesday. This could result in the Kp index rising on Friday, although the hole's size means the effects may be short-lived and perhaps minimal. So in conclusion, it is Autumn with an SFI in the 150s and an active, but not unsettled, geomagnetic field. In other words, it should be good for HF DX unless a solar flare or CME comes along and spoils things. And now the VHF and up propagation news. The typical Autumn weather will continue over the next week, meaning alternating ridges of high pressure between active weather fronts with rain and strong winds. There have been some reasonably uplifted Tropo conditions during recent spells of high pressure and no reason to think this won't be the case over the next week. The two most likely high-pressure transitions across the country are this weekend and again in the first half of next week. Paths to the south into the continent should do well. In between these events, we find active weather fronts crossing the country with a large low taking up residence by the end of the week. This could lead to a few rain scatter options for GHz bands, but Autumn storms can be fast-moving and hard to track. The Sun continues to offer support with a high Kp index on occasion so always a chance of aurora. The Draconids and the Orionids are the major meteor showers this month. The former, peaking today, Sunday, with a typical ZHR of 10, has been known to reach storm level. The Orionids are active from the 2nd of October to the 7th of November peaking on the 21st with a medium ZHR of 20. Random meteor scatter propagation is always available and rates are high in October, so it's always a banker if you have a decent system for the low VHF bands. With all these more exotic modes the best course of action is to monitor the clusters for signs of activity. Moon declination goes positive today (Sunday), so Moon windows will lengthen as the week progresses. We are past perigee so path losses will increase throughout the week. 144MHz sky noise is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Since 1865 a special agency, now part of the United Nations, has had a major influence on global communication standards. The International Telecommunication Union, or ITU, ensures tech from the telegraph to the internet plays nicely across international borders. Last week, ITU member states elected a new secretary-general, Doreen Bogdan-Martin. She’s an American and has worked with the agency for decades. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams recently spoke with Mallory Knodel, chief technology officer at the Center for Democracy and Technology about the ITU’s history.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)—which serves as the President's principal advisor on telecommunications and information policy issues and the nation's manager of federally-allocated radiofrequency spectrum, among other responsibilities—must balance several critical priorities at a key moment for American progress in telecommunications and technology. In this episode of Wiley Connected, Amb. David Gross and Sara Baxenberg of Wiley's Telecom, Media & Technology Practice, along with Wiley summer law clerk Stephanie Rigizadeh, speak with NTIA Administrator Alan Davidson about the issues and opportunities facing the agency. The conversation spans several areas of focus at NTIA, including: •The “Internet for All” initiative, which seeks to leverage $45 billion in grant funding allocated by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to bring high-speed, affordable internet access to all Americans; •The Administration's efforts on telecommunications issues abroad, including the candidacy of Doreen Bogdan-Martin for Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and upcoming ITU conferences; •NTIA's collaboration with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on spectrum management issues; and •NTIA's role in shaping policy on personal privacy.

The exponential rise of technology and its widespread adoption has led to a dual effect. On the one hand, there are a rising number of devices and electronics in the market, exacerbating an already growing waste and resource challenge. On the other hand, new technology has also led to an increase in digital solutions and innovation that is a catalyst to transforming electronic value chains towards a circular model. Doreen Bogdan-Martin speaks with Dr. Naoko Ishii, Executive Vice President, Professor at Institute for Future Initiative, Director, Center for Global Commons, University of Tokyo, on the opportunities that digitalization and connectivity bring to the transition towards a circular economy for electronics, particularly in building sustainable e-waste management systems. Interviewer: Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Director, Telecommunication Development Bureau, ITU

Doreen Bogdan-Martin speaks with Robert Piper on digital technologies for development and the role of connectivity in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

The International Telecommunication Union, a specialized UN agency, facilitates inter-connection of the world's communications networks, including coordinating the precious spectrum and orbital resources that support satellites and other space missions. The impact of ITU decisions on spectrum connectivity, space services, and the private sector is unmistakable. Join Audrey Allison from The Center for Space Policy and Strategy as she talks with Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Director of the ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau which is charged with closing the digital divide. She is the first female elected to office in the ITU's >150-year history.

Welcome to Episode 1 of 'It Takes a Global Crisis', a series of four special episodes produced by the UN Library & Archives Geneva in collaboration with the SDG Lab. In this episode on digitalization and connectivity, we're joined by Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) and Ibrahima Guimba-Saïdou, the Minister Special Advisor to President of Niger and CEO of the National Agency for Information Society (ANSI). Together, they explore the impact of COVID-19 on connectivity and digitalization across the world, and whether progress to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals has been accelerated or disadvantaged through the pandemic.   So, did it take a global crisis to advance digitization and connectivity? Let's find out.  Note: This podcast, recorded on 6 October 2021, mentions 3.7 billion people, or 51% of the world's population, remain unconnected to the Internet (Source: ITU Facts and Figures 2020). In December 2021, ITU's latest Facts and Figures 2021 report revealed that the estimated number of people who have used the Internet has surged to 4.9 billion in 2021 (63%), from an estimated 4.1 billion in 2019. However, in 2021, an estimated 37 per cent of the world's population – or 2.9 billion people – have still never used the Internet.
