Embassy Chokepoints for Signals Access

Large diplomatic compounds can function as physical chokepoints for communications and infrastructure (fiber landings, junctions, surge capacity) that materially alter host‑country data sovereignty and allied intelligence sharing. Approving perimeter, location and infrastructure access for such missions is therefore a strategic decision, not merely a planning or zoning matter. — Treating embassy siting as an infrastructure‑security decision reframes urban planning debates into allied intelligence, telecoms‑sovereignty and national‑security policy conversations.
