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.

Michael Lim's fibre business has to deliver more than bandwidth

Puzl sells two different answers to an idle computer
Its cloud platform promises to charge for resources doing work. Its GPU offer rewards customers willing to reserve capacity for years. The distinction matters more than the size of its routing table.

Giga+ Fibra's better margins still have an interest bill to pay
The Brazilian fiber group is making more of a smaller customer base. Its quarterly cash figures show both the progress and the distance between an operating improvement and money left over.

GARNET: Ghana's research network documents its mandate, not its operations
Ghana's national research and education network can be named, dated and mapped to seven public universities. What it cannot yet be is checked: neither its own site nor the regional body that recognises it publishes governance, funding, contracted capacity or the address resources…

BEREC and Ofcom have someone to call. A common rulebook is another matter
The regulators' memorandum already names its contacts and divides the costs. The harder work is turning an exchange of information into something useful without pretending that Britain and the EU now share a decision-maker.

SwissIX's 400G port comes with a second line on the bill
The exchange's public prices and routing rules reveal what a faster connection buys—and which decisions still belong to the network connecting to it.

The cable is broken. The ship still needs permission to work.
Asia's cable resilience depends on a less photogenic piece of infrastructure: the arrangements that let a repair crew get started.

Timor-Leste widens its cyber committee’s brief; agencies keep delivery
Timor-Leste has given a new interministerial committee a remit spanning cybersecurity, data and digital government. The order that created it also draws a boundary: the committee coordinates and oversees, while ministries and public bodies still implement the projects.

Honduras Opened Internet Service to ISPs, but Kept Leased-Line Sales
Hondutel said five internet service providers and four organisations were directly connected in March 1996. A year later, one provider said private firms could sell dial-up but not dedicated service—an opening shaped by who controlled the circuit.

FSM Telecom reported 280 customers across the Federated States of Micronesia in February 1997, but said none had a direct connection. They dialled into a shared service carried over a 128 Kbps Sprint link from Pohnpei to California. The same report put a dedicated 64 Kbps line at…
