The increase in sunspot activities solar flares are a result. They are extra bursts of electrically charged particles and x-rays.

Sunspots do not affect out communications systems as of now. However, a very large sunspot could knock out communications by releasing tons of ions that will disrupt communications.

What is a high sun period?

The Sun goes through about an 11-year cycle. During that period, the number of sunspots increases to a maximum and then decreases to a minimum. Right now, the Sun is at an extended minimum activity level; there have been very few sunspots for about 18 months or so. During the last solar maximum, there were usually dozens of very large sunspots on the face of the Sun; now, there are usually no sunspots at all, and when they do appear, they are very small and short-lived. High solar activity levels are associated with solar flares and "coronal mass ejections" that can cause auroras. Satellites and electronics are fairly sensitive to CMEs, and one of the current worries is that if a really intense solar flare and CME were to be pointed at the Earth, it could cause massive disruptions of our electronic communications systems and computers.
