Primary Domain

Internet Infrastructure

Within the Primary Domain facet, Internet 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.

Nick Feamster: making networks explain themselves, and exposing the limits of measurement

In 2005, a checker he co-developed reported over 1,000 previously undetected faults in 17 autonomous systems. Since then, his effort to make hidden infrastructure explainable has extended to spam, broadband, censorship, smart homes, and machine learning, repeatedly showing that…

Pim van Pelt and the Decision to Sunset SixXS

Many infrastructure stories celebrate the moment a system starts. Pim van Pelt's more instructive story turns on the moment he and fellow operator Jeroen Massar decided that SixXS should stop. The service had helped people reach IPv6 when their providers did not offer it…
