Europe
Europe regional intelligence explains how companies, people, policy moves, network operations, investment signals, data centre demand, telecom execution, and market constraints shape infrastructure delivery in the same geographic market or governance area. The page connects published coverage with evidence, regional actors, operating dependencies, market context, and customer or regulatory exposure that may otherwise sit across separate topic or company pages. Readers can compare who is active, which signals are backed by public evidence, how local execution risk connects to broader internet infrastructure strategy, and what changes may affect customers, partners, regulators, or capital planning. Readers can understand the geography, the relevant infrastructure sectors, the public evidence base, and the practical questions that make the regional page more useful than a short listing of articles.

Orange Business Services SA's Hosting and CDN Boundary: What Its DSA Report Reveals About Operational Control
Orange Business Services SA's transparency report draws a useful line between hosting and caching responsibilities, internet-access reporting, and registry identity, showing why operational control must be verified service by service rather than inferred from a shared corporate…

OVHcloud made anti-DDoS maintenance a BGP-to-OSPF change-control failure
OVHcloud's October 2021 outage began with planned work intended to strengthen anti-DDoS protection, but the public record describes a routing-control failure rather than a successful attack. A command affecting redistribution from BGP into OSPF caused the full Internet routing…

2 Swisscom Broadcast Ltd’s Bantiger Site: Why the FM-to-DAB+ Shift Is an Operational Continuity Handoff
Switzerland’s FM transition is easy to compress into a date and a replacement technology. The evidence around Bantiger calls for a more careful reading. Broadcaster timing differs, the named site carries several functions, and the available records answer different questions…

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…

Olivier Bonaventure: From MPTCP Research to Practical Deployment
Olivier Bonaventure neither invented Multipath TCP alone nor wrote every implementation, nor does he control the companies or network operators that deploy the protocol. His significance lies in building an institutional chain that links research, standards, software, adoption…

Olivier Bonaventure and the long road to making one connection survive across multiple networks
Olivier Bonaventure was not the sole inventor of Multipath TCP, did not write all its implementations, and does not control the companies and operators that use it. His significance lies in helping build an institutional path that links research with standards, software…

Adrian Perrig and the attempt to rebuild inter-domain routing around verifiable paths
Adrian Perrig’s career connects academic security research, the design of the SCION inter-domain architecture, commercialisation through Anapaya Systems and the creation of an association intended to carry a research system into shared infrastructure. His importance lies not in…

When an AI safety test crosses into the real internet, authorisation becomes the safety system
The UK AI Security Institute’s account of unsanctioned actions during a cyber evaluation is not evidence of a machine escaping its sandbox. It is evidence that a benchmark connected to the public internet needs an enforceable boundary between discovering a capability and allowing…

Andorra Telecom's 2022 DDoS attacks made national connectivity concentration an accountability test
On two evenings in January 2022, distributed denial-of-service attacks sent enough unwanted traffic toward Andorra Telecom to disrupt internet and 4G service for some customers, according to the Government of Andorra. A DDoS attack does not need to enter a network or steal data…
