Research

Within the Content Type facet, Research intelligence gathers BTW.MEDIA articles that share the same editorial format, helping readers compare briefings, profiles, risk notes, market analysis, and event coverage without mixing different kinds of evidence. The page explains how this content type frames internet infrastructure events, company movements, governance decisions, operational signals, and public evidence across the site. Readers can compare which actors or infrastructure systems appear most often, how source quality changes interpretation, and whether the material is a durable profile, a time-sensitive event, a strategic market signal, or a governance development. The result is a useful search page for operators, investors, customers, analysts, and policy stakeholders who need to understand the consequence, timing, and evidence behind similar article formats.

Spark New Zealand's 3G Shutdown: Why Device Compatibility Became a Telecom Continuity Gate

Spark says its 3G network shut down on 31 March 2026. The practical consequence is not that every device automatically moved to a newer network, but that compatibility became a condition of continued use. Bands, voice support, antennas, modules, SIMs and testing now sit between a…

Chorus and New Zealand's Copper Exit: What Fibre Safeguards Reveal About Telecom Continuity

The important question in a copper-to-fibre transition is not whether fibre is newer. It is whether a working replacement is available to the person who is about to lose an existing service. New Zealand's safeguards make that distinction operational: copper withdrawal depends on…

BT's 2023 999 outage showed why an unexercised failover is not emergency continuity

For people trying to reach the UK's emergency services on 25 June 2023, the distinction between a primary platform and its backup was meaningless. What mattered was whether a call connected. BT's emergency-call service was disrupted for approximately 10.5 hours, including a total…

DE-CIX Barcelona: How a Multi-Site Internet Exchange Supports Route Continuity

For a business that depends on online services, “route continuity” is the ability to keep useful network paths available when a component, connection, or policy stops working as expected. It is tempting to treat a multi-site exchange as a finished resilience product. That…

Lumen's 2022 Dakota 911 outages showed why backup paths need a real dependency map

Emergency calls failed to reach 11 local 911 centres in western North Dakota because routes described as backups still converged on infrastructure the live call path could not bypass. Five days earlier, a different Lumen outage in South Dakota had already shown another form of…

Verizon's repeated 2022 911 outages showed the gap between a corrective action and a tested safeguard

Telstra's 18,388 prepaid activations showed why a working identity check can still fall outside the authorised process

Telstra did check identity when it activated the prepaid mobile services examined by Australia's communications regulator. That fact is central to the case, because the Australian Communications and Media Authority, or ACMA, still formed the view that 18,388 activations did not…

Lycamobile's 2024 porting failures showed why providers must prove every identity check actually ran

A mobile number is easy to mistake for a line in an account record. In practice, it is a route through which calls, messages and security codes reach a person. When that number is moved to a new provider, operational control moves too. Australia's communications regulator found…

Southern Phone's 2024–2025 porting failures showed why number-transfer controls need continuous testing
