Primary Domain
Global Connectivity Infrastructure
Within the Primary Domain facet, Global Connectivity Infrastructure intelligence groups reporting by primary domain so readers can follow a focused area of internet infrastructure, governance, connectivity markets, or digital capital. The page brings together related articles, public evidence, institutions, companies, people, regional exposure, operating dependencies, and market context that may otherwise sit across separate category pages. It explains the domain, the likely actor class, the market or governance context, and the source material readers should use when comparing signals. Operators, analysts, and governance readers can see how the same domain appears across events, profiles, market shifts, public-source evidence, regional dependencies, and longer-cycle infrastructure decisions over time.

Four Addresses, One Switch: What Myanmar's Exchange Can Disperse and What It Cannot
Myanmar Internet Exchange now advertises four domestic meeting points across the country. The list is real and the geography is real. So is the single authority that has, four times in fifteen years, ordered the country's traffic to stop.

The 88-Network Gap in Kyiv's Exchange

One IP, 3,000 Ports, Two Rollbacks: NANOG 98’s Six-Month Migration
A NANOG 98 case study used BGP FlowSpec to move a hard-coded raw-TCP service in pieces. The result depended on one detail the RFC does not promise: the network’s exact redirect action.

BGP Models Passed Their Home Test. They Missed 41% of the Anomalies Elsewhere
A RIPE-based benchmark found that the synthetic generator with the best in-sample fidelity still missed 35–41% of unseen anomalies when tested on a different collector. The model knew its neighborhood. The Internet has more than one.

BGP Said Established. The Routes Were Gone for 121 Seconds
During a firewall high-availability upgrade, NIX.CZ’s Router B showed BGP sessions as `Established` while its routing table held no prefixes for 121 seconds. An IPv6 peer-context error stalled Graceful Restart across both address families and sent traffic into a black hole.

The Phone-Number Map Has a New Owner. The Hard Part Is Keeping It Right.
TNS has bought netnumber, a business built around the information networks use to decide where a number belongs. That can make a call or message take the right road. It still cannot tell a network which human picked up the phone.

IPv4’s 2025 transfer ledger: the youngsters showed up; the old blocks brought the weight
Newly allocated prefixes appeared in about one in five recorded transfers, yet accounted for less than 2% of transferred addresses. Blocks allocated 13–25 years earlier carried more than half of the year’s volume.

Meridian’s first in-orbit activation is a test milestone, not a network launch
Meridian Space has put a proprietary communications payload into orbit and powered it on. Its satellite partner reports two-way contact with the spacecraft, but Meridian still described the first communications link through its own payload as a next step. That gap separates an…
