Ghana has expanded digital connectivity, but many rural communities remain underserved. Community networks could close the gap, provided policymakers create proportionate regulation, improve infrastructure access and build sustainable models that complement commercial operators. more
Direct-to-device satellite cellular promises to extend coverage beyond terrestrial networks, but physics, capacity constraints, and indoor limitations suggest it will complement existing mobile service rather than emerge as a true competitor. more
Amazon has outlined plans for a 5,105-satellite constellation that will connect smartphones directly from space, expanding emergency and mobile services while intensifying competition in the fast-growing satellite-to-device communications market. more
As 6G development accelerates, its promises of faster speeds, lower latency, and immersive applications raise questions about whether carriers can justify another costly network upgrade when 5G's commercial promises remain largely unfulfilled across the industry. more
Spain will require telecom operators to keep mobile networks running for up to four hours during power outages, introducing phased resilience standards, stronger emergency communications safeguards and stricter backup requirements for critical digital infrastructure. more
The European Union plans to reserve most future satellite spectrum for regional firms while still allowing Starlink and Amazon to compete, reflecting Brussels' attempt to balance technological sovereignty with market openness in a strategically sensitive communications sector. more
Three decades after Iridium's costly collapse, falling launch costs and improved signal processing are reviving satellite-to-phone ambitions, as Starlink, Amazon and AST SpaceMobile race to build direct-to-device networks that could reshape mobile coverage and competition. more
SpaceX has filed a plan to place more than a million satellites in low Earth orbit, recasting data centres as spaceborne infrastructure while testing regulators, safety, competition and the line between vision and paper ambition. more
AT&T’s CEO plays down the threat of satellite cellular, citing bandwidth and coverage limits. Yet growing interest in rural and IoT applications suggests the technology could still claim valuable niches in the wireless market. 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
As smartphones become the primary gateway to the internet for billions, a critical question emerges: does app-based digital fluency prepare users for the demands of computer-based work in a modern economy? more
Telecom operators are challenging OTT platforms by deploying Rich Communication Services. This reversal of roles prompts fresh regulatory scrutiny, revives the case for network neutrality, and demands a risk-based approach to preserving digital competition. 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
Artificial intelligence is transforming Africa's informal economy by improving access to finance, optimizing business operations, and helping small-scale entrepreneurs transition into the formal sector, despite challenges such as digital illiteracy and infrastructure gaps. more
Over two years of war, Israel has decimated Gaza's ICT infrastructure, crippling connectivity, impeding emergency response, and isolating civilians from the digital world, while cementing long-standing control over telecommunications under the guise of national security. more
