Uruguay Cut Keys for a New DNS Algorithm. Its Root Record Still Says 8.

Anatel’s New Committee Can Publish Auction Data. Can It Watch the Projects?
The proposed policy committee gets a window into results from spectrum-auction commitments, while its draft charter bars two review functions. One verb in the Board vote did not make it into the published carve-out: monitoring.

Five Caribbean islands joined the exchange; local routing is the test
The Eastern Caribbean Internet Exchange now reaches five named islands through a cable operator, a local network and an exchange platform. That is a meaningful extension of regional infrastructure. It does not yet tell readers how much traffic stays local, which island networks…

NIC.br’s IX.br: access options are not a recovery test
A network’s own exchange port and a shared connection describe different ways to reach IX.br. Neither description, on its own, establishes what remains usable during a failure. The operational question is which dependencies an alternative avoids—and who can put it to work.

Chilean Cobalt Earned a 2% Royalty. Buying NeoRe Would Cancel It
Chilean Cobalt has completed the funded milestones for a 2% net smelter return interest in NeoRe. The next step is not simply “more NeoRe”. If a negotiated acquisition closes, the royalty is extinguished and the company takes the project directly. That fork separates a claim on…

Chevron’s 600,000 bpd Venezuela target is a JV total, not disclosed net production

Scotiabank's C$500m Jamaica Buyout Would Cut CET1, Not Profit

Two decades of institution-building produced continental reach. The next institution must define what members renew when projects and capacity terms expire.

RedCLARA is only as strong as the national edge
A continental optical route can remove one ocean bottleneck. Campus and national networks still determine whether researchers receive that capacity reliably.

RedCLARA needs a capacity-allocation rule
Long-term optical capacity is a shared asset only if national networks can see how demand, scarcity and upgrades are prioritised.

RedCLARA needs an exit plan for every supplier

Carlos Martinez-Cagnazzo and the Boundary Work of Routing Security
Carlos Martinez-Cagnazzo's public record does not describe a lone architect making the internet safe. It shows a more instructive kind of authority: a regional registry strategist working where cryptographic standards, trust-anchor operations, operator education and cross-border…
