Is a communications collapse possible in Europe? (18 January 2007): «The European Commission is seeking feedback on how best to safeguard our electronic networks against disruption from attack or natural hazards. This follows the public presentation on 18 January of the findings of a study which identifies a range of important issues for ensuring that our future networks are sufficiently protected and resilient. As the services and processes that they support become increasingly interconnected and interdependent, the consequences of the failure of or criminal attack on a single network or sub-system could potentially be propagated more widely and faster than ever before. Protective measures need to be put in place to ensure that critical services and infrastructure are not vulnerable to such failures, and that there can be no "domino effect" that might otherwise result in a major technological collapse of communications and the many services they support.»
