Photorealistic view of a national internet exchange switch hall: an open dark fibre-optic rack in the foreground with blue and amber patch cables and lit port LEDs, a technician seen from behind out of focus, and a city skyline with a distant mountain through the window.

ARMIX Has Twenty Members and a Second City. Its Ceiling Is Still Ten Gigabits.

Armenia's national exchange counted twenty member networks in November 2025 and opened a second access point in Gyumri in February 2026. The published port range — 100 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s — says more about what kind of exchange this is than either announcement.

A Riyadh Postbox, a Registry Key, and the Half of SAIX Nobody Publishes

The registry will tell you exactly what to call the Saudi Arabian Internet Exchange and where to send its post. It will not tell you who is plugged in. Measured on 4 November 2026, that gap is the finding.

PIT-IX Reports Three Buildings. The Record Won't Say Which.

An internet exchange is a building problem in a routing costume. The Pittsburgh Internet Exchange now tells the world it runs across three facilities, counts thirty-six member networks and has imported forty-one networks from its IX-F feed — and it does not name one of the three.

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.

FICIX Runs the Fabric. Two Facilities Carry Telia and Equinix Names.

On 3 November 2026, the front page of Finland's largest internet exchange listed five sites and three platform names. Two of those sites sit inside buildings named for somebody else: a national carrier and a commercial datacentre company. That is the most concrete thing FICIX…

At Exactly SEK 30 Million, Sweden's Cyber Fee Switches On

Sweden moved SEK 12 million of telecom oversight funding into its cybersecurity-law fee. The regulator calls the overall transfer neutral. The binding rule is sharper than its announcement: a covered operator with turnover of exactly SEK 30 million is inside the charge, and a…

The Phone Is Still on Sale. Its Emergency-Call Test May Be Past Its Sell-By Date.

Australia's communications regulator wants an old model's first test to stop licensing every later phone in the box. After the next emergency-call standard changes, continued supply would require fresh evidence. The proposed rule reaches the sales counter; the phone already in…

Brussels Wants a 12-Month Cloud Move. Sweden Counted the Procurement Steps.

A draft EU cloud rule would start a one-year migration clock when a public body's risk review requires a move. Sweden's telecom regulator read the clock beside the work order: end a contract, study a replacement, procure it, then build it. Critical systems do not change homes by…

Sweden Let the Compliance File Speak English. The Customer Still Gets Swedish.

A Swedish accessibility rule now accepts an English conformity file from a manufacturer, importer or distributor. The customer-facing instructions stay in Swedish. The sharp edge sits in the middle: PTS conceded that the EU declaration it had discussed as regulatory paperwork can…

Ofcom Gives Scam Calls a Two-Day Paper Trail

The regulator will work backward through the providers that carried a suspect call. Each handoff now has a short evidence clock, a formal information demand and an awkward possible ending: the next provider does not answer.

Twilio’s verification failed. The SMS meter kept counting.

A login flow can finish with no approved code and still leave a communications bill. Twilio charges its standard Verify platform fee when a code is successfully approved, while SMS attempts have their own meter. The distinction sits exactly where a product team usually calls the…

Sweden Can Open the Evidence Inbox Before Anyone Takes the Shift.

Europe's evidence orders now have a digital route to Swedish service providers. PTS says a receiving point can start getting requests once its access administrator is registered, while that administrator still has to appoint the people who will work the queue. An eight-hour…

GitHub cut the retention clock. Yesterday’s artifacts kept theirs.

The Coverage Map Said Yes. ACMA Wants a 20-Day Way Out.

A mobile plan is sold on a map, then tested at a kitchen table or a work site. Australia’s draft consumer standard would make the seller show the map before the sale and let the buyer leave when reception fails a reasonable expectation. The device bill gets its own fork in the…

Rail Asked for 20 Years. ACMA Offered Five-Year Tickets to 2037.

Australia's rail authorities can keep using their 1800 MHz safety-radio channels under ACMA's proposed transition. What changes is who controls the clock: a licence renewable in five-year pieces gives the regulator repeated chances to decide how long the old network stays.

The Backup Is Gone. Sweden Wants the Incident Report Before the Outage.

A cross-border service can look healthy on the customer screen while the path that would save it has vanished. Sweden's new telecom incident rules make that loss of redundancy a reportable event for central international infrastructure. The regulator is asking operators to…

ACMA Kept the 100 km Circle. The Telescope Rule Runs Beyond It.

Australia's 2.5 GHz antenna upgrade gives mobile operators more technical room. A radio telescope can sit outside the guideline's usual coordination radius and still hold the operator to the protection rule. That is where this spectrum bargain gets expensive.
