“BIRD” is the Global Plan’s extremely cost-effective, all-terrain optical-cable solution that is contributing to global sustainability and equality. It is built on the three new ITU-T Recommendations developed under the editorship of H. Okamura, that expressly target closure of the digital divide ;
①affordability-first concept with sustainability, upgradability, and scalability (L.1700), and see ITU-T News on L.1700
②lightweight, robust optical cable for all-terrain application (L.110), see ITU news on L.110, and
③do-it-yourself (DIY) cable installation surface to underground to air to water (L.163), and see ITU News on L.163
