  1. AI editorial portrait of Anupam Agrawal in an invented network operations room

    Leaders

    Anupam Agrawal Made the ASN Follow the Customer

    A network changed providers. Its number nearly got stuck with the old invoice. Agrawal and a coauthor put an exit in APNIC policy.

  2. 오래된 서류의 큰 더미는 유리 진열장에 정리됐고, 책상에는 처리할 파일이 남아 있다

    Story

    ARIN moved a mountain of legacy addresses in one quarter. The rocks left are large

    A newly disclosed 2025 agreement surge dwarfs the later remaining stock. The next cases look less like a bulk move and more like a hard address book.

  3. 유리 주소 블록으로 된 나무에 점검등이 켜져 있고 한 가지는 빈 확인표 옆에서 차례를 기다린다.

    Story

    RIPE built a dashboard that has to learn when to shut up

    Its new resource checks can spot useful anomalies. The more revealing design choice is how the registry labels an unchecked branch or an odd but valid route.

RIR Watchdog / Story

RIPE's year-end exit has an IPv6 question hiding in the box

A member closing its LIR before the 2027 billing cycle has paperwork to finish and one resource decision to make: does that IPv6 allocation still have a job?

Editorial position

Why BTW Media exists

  • Reality over advocacy
  • Evidence over sentiment
  • Systems over noise

Internet governance is too often described as theory, consensus, or institutional comfort while operators live with the consequences of structure, scarcity, jurisdiction, and incentives.

BTW shows how the system works when assumptions are tested: clear, uncomfortable, evidence-led reporting that keeps attention on structure rather than drama. Public reporting is published to travel: it may be indexed, quoted, translated, used in search and AI answers, and used to train models so the evidence can shape how infrastructure questions are understood.
