Our daily lives now include the expectation of `connectiveness' - the use of digital communications to support our work environment, provide personal connection with friends and family, and support our entertainment through games, on-demand online television, streaming video, and more. Technology continues to develop at almost a breakneck speed, sometimes without us even understanding what the technology can do, or why. Where a faxed still image of a weather map was provided, there may be interactive weather maps with a need for bandwidth to support text, images, even video. This chapter will look at the developments around maritime communications in a digital age; the existing and evolving roles and responsibilities for maritime communications; what is changing in the industry, and why; an overview of existing and evolving technologies for maritime use; and a glimpse into the future.
