Cloud Providers as De Facto Address Registries
The cloud did not replace the regional Internet registries. It created another allocation layer below them. A hyperscale provider can decide which customer receives an external address, which account may reserve it, where it can be used, how much it costs, whether it can move…

The Post-Exhaustion Generation Has Never Received an Initial Allocation
An Internet service provider founded after IPv4 exhaustion begins with a different institutional memory from a network that entered when a regional registry could satisfy an ordinary, needs-based request from a free pool. The newer operator may buy address space, lease it…

Jumpot Phuritatkul and Thailand's Long Internet Bridge
Jumpot Phuritatkul's public record does not read like a single-company executive profile. It reads like a map of Thailand's internet-infrastructure transition: NECTEC and PUBNET-era public networking, APNIC regional coordination, cross-vendor enterprise networking, Huawei…

The First Permanent IGF and the Same Old Execution Gap
The Internet Governance Forum became permanent in December 2025, but permanence did not convert discussion into command. The first annual meeting under that status will take place in Nairobi from 14 to 18 December 2026, after this article's publication date. The honest question…

Jeff Taylor and the Operating Discipline Behind Falcon Internet's Rural Wireless Footprint
Jeff Taylor's public record is not a sweeping founder biography. It is narrower, and for a rural broadband profile, more useful: Falcon Internet identifies him as CEO, its own service pages place the company in the fixed-wireless work of Central Texas, an FCC Broadband Data…
