China Mobile’s Cash Flow Rose RMB24bn. Its Engine Shed RMB19bn.

China Mobile collected more cash even as its core business earned less. Customer payments and tax made the difference. The planned push into computing and AI will spend real money before its returns are clear.

A Charity Receipt Is Not a Mandate

Australia's Internet Association Inc. sits on a national charity register and points to a governance page said to hold its constitution. In this review the register entry arrived and the constitutional text did not. That gap is not a scandal. It is the ordinary difference between…

Editorial illustration in muted ink-blue and amber: a large, dim, out-of-focus registry index card on the left, and on the right a small, sharp measured network footprint made of two equal address blocks joined into one wider block, one thin hexagonal outline beside them, two upstream lines entering from above, five thinner paths fanning right, and a dashed amber line that stops short of the card.

A satellite learned to hear two sensors at once. The price tag stayed on the ground.

NTT and JAXA report up to 2.67× the SISO capacity in orbital tests, plus a same-frequency two-sensor demonstration. The next hard number is commercial: what a field operator would pay to use it.

The Registry Row That Proves Almost Nothing

A regional registry lists a government technology agency as a medium-tier member. A due-diligence memo reads that row as an operating footprint. A parliamentary exchange elsewhere in the same country shows where accountability for a data-control failure actually landed. The three…

Bhutan's internet has a shortcut. Someone still has to pay for the road

At btIX, rival networks share an exchange rather than send every useful connection the long way round. The interesting bargain sits behind the ports: common costs, individual access bills and a board with real operational power.

Adani and Jabil’s AI Hardware Venture Still Needs a Binding Deal

June set out an ambition; October supplied a proposed 50:50 structure. The distinction matters: the partners have described a manufacturing platform, but their latest public document is still a non-binding memorandum, not a funded factory or a customer-backed production plan.

A schematic cutaway cross-section drawing: on the left, layered blue ocean and a sloping seabed carry a black armoured cable up through the surf and wet beach into an open concrete joint chamber, from which a buried duct runs through cut-away ground into a small metal-roofed landing building, with stylized wave shapes above and a few palms behind.

Samoa’s cable reliability promise needs an instrument with a date on it

Samoa’s international capacity is bought rather than switched on. A licensed provider signs wholesale terms with Samoa Submarine Cable Company, and since 22 January 2026 the document governing that purchase is Order 2026/T01. The order tells a buyer how capacity is sold. It does…

Kakao's Outage Began in a Building It Didn't Operate. Korea's Remedy Named Both Landlord and Tenant.

On 15 October 2022 a fire at the SK C&C data centre in Pangyo took down Kakao services including KakaoTalk and disrupted Naver from the same address. The amendment that followed is nicknamed the Kakao Outage Prevention Act, and the decree that decides who it actually binds…

BroadBand Tower: the card was wrong about two things, and silent on the money

Indus Towers: A Brokerage's Rent Assumption Is Not a Rent Payment

Eighty Hours Announced, No Restoration Time Measured: Bangladesh's SEA-ME-WE-5 Repair Window

NTT’s optical-chiplet plan moves from research into a factory test

A Japanese consortium has been selected to develop optical-chiplet manufacturing and evaluate a pilot line. The headline is a productivity target; the real test is whether several specialist firms can produce repeatable, inspectable devices together.

NTT’s resilience trial pairs real batteries with simulated radio traffic

A power cut turns a mobile site’s battery into a clock: the remaining charge limits how long that site can keep operating. NTT and DOCOMO are testing whether moving radio processing elsewhere can conserve that reserve, alongside scenarios for solar surplus and grid demand…

The Timing Layer Nobody Owned: Telstra's July Failure and the Repair Still Unverified

At 02:50 on 8 July 2026 a replacement timing chassis in Melbourne powered up carrying a GPS card that had reset without the firmware update meant to stop a known rollover, and for a period the wrong date — the year 2006 — moved through parts of Telstra's mobile network. An…

NBN Co is closing the capacity dial its retailers spent a decade turning
