Iran is finalizing a nationwide internet isolation system that would allow authorities to disconnect from the global web, as protests continue and external equipment sources, including Huawei, remain shrouded in secrecy. more
Starlink expanded to 42 new countries in 2025, added 2.7 million customers, improved network speeds and latency, and continued satellite launches as it nears its first-phase constellation goal of 12,000 satellites. more
Iran's regime has all but nullified, for the most part, Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network using advanced jamming, legal threats, and raids, turning a promising tool for protestors into a cautionary tale of digital authoritarianism. more
Iran has imposed a sweeping internet blackout amid nationwide protests, disrupting even Starlink satellite service. The move marks a new level of digital repression, raising fears of an impending crackdown shielded from global view. more
Global internet use has surpassed six billion users, yet stark divides persist between regions, genders and urban-rural populations. Meanwhile, download speeds have surged and smartphones now dominate how people access the web worldwide. more
What began as an emergency response evolved into critical wartime infrastructure. Ukraine's experience with Starlink reveals the strategic risks and benefits of relying on privately operated networks for national resilience and defence. more
Despite its promise of universal access, Starlink often fails to meet broadband benchmarks across key markets. New data reveals fluctuating performance and raises questions about reliability, digital equity, and tiered service models. more
The NANOG 95 conference spotlighted breakthroughs in fibre optics, wireless technology, routing security, and quantum computing, offering a forward-looking assessment of internet infrastructure and its vulnerabilities, as reported by APNIC's Geoff Huston. more
The hiQ ruling erased legal protections against commercial scraping, leaving infrastructure providers to absorb escalating costs. Without federal action defining data misappropriation, a free-rider AI economy could undermine open networks, investment, and long-term data integrity. more
Global eSIM connections are projected to reach 4.9 billion by 2030, driven by China's rapid adoption, new provisioning standards, and growing demand across smartphones, industrial devices, and the expanding Internet of Things ecosystem. more
A new report from the Fiber Broadband Association details how fiber networks improve public safety and disaster response, offering real-world case studies that highlight the technology's resilience, reliability, and critical infrastructure value. more
Starlink dominates the satellite internet race, echoing IBM's past supremacy in computing. But geopolitical divides, advancing rivals, and Elon Musk's controversies suggest its lead will narrow as competitors gain ground in a fragmented global market. more
OpenVault's latest broadband report shows U.S. households using more data, with uploads rising faster than downloads and a major shift toward midrange speed tiers. Growing gaming, streaming, and cloud activity continues to reshape network demand and subscriber behavior. more
As AI accelerates global data demand, tech giants are investing heavily in subsea cables. These critical networks face rising geopolitical scrutiny and security risks, reshaping the future of digital infrastructure and global connectivity. more
The Internet has evolved from a scarcity-driven system into one defined by abundance, reshaping infrastructure, governance, and economic models while challenging long-held assumptions about addressing, network roles, and the future of protocol design. more
