Streamwide's 197% SaaS headline adds EUR1.07 million, not a new majority business
Streamwide's first-half revenue mix moved in the direction management wants: recurring SaaS revenue nearly tripled. The denominator keeps the change in proportion. SaaS rose from EUR0.544 million to EUR1.614 million and supplied 13% of EUR12.792 million total revenue. The…

FiberCop won the injunction round, not Italy's wholesale-price war
A Milan court rejected TIM's urgent attempt to make FiberCop communicate Master Service Agreement economic conditions to AGCOM. That preserves FiberCop's immediate position and removes the requested emergency pressure. It does not approve a wholesale tariff, decide every…

Midland's AST SpaceMobile deal buys verified expansion, not promises
Midland has given final approval to an incentive agreement for a new AST SpaceMobile manufacturing plant, but the headline USD66 million is a thirty-year ceiling rather than an upfront cheque. The city's real bargain is a sequence of payments tied to a minimum facility…

AST SpaceMobile's cheap coupon comes with an expensive future choice
AST SpaceMobile has closed USD1.0 billion of 1.625% convertible notes due 2034 and says buyers exercised the full USD150 million option. The coupon is low, but the financing does not remove cost: maturity creates a fixed claim, while future settlement can consume cash, shares or…

Microsoft's Mistral commitment buys European capacity and deepens dependency
Microsoft will use Mistral's expanded Europe-based GPU infrastructure under a commitment described only as multibillion-dollar. The arrangement gives Mistral a large compute customer and broader model distribution, while making Europe's sovereignty story dependent on Microsoft…

Starlink is operational in Seychelles, but launch, ordering and price remain separate
Seychelles News Agency reported Starlink’s activation on July 20. Its July 21 follow-up adds that operations began on July 18, the authorisation covers internet rather than mobile telephony and local tariffs have not been officially announced. An official launch was still…

Anthropic's outage day had four clocks, not one root cause
Haiku 4.5 returned from monitoring to an identified problem, a critical multi-model error interval overlapped it, Claude workflow features then failed under a separate critical record, and Opus 4.1 recorded another incident the next morning. The sequence shows concentrated…

Nuvem has reached shore; its 384Tbps still has not reached the market
Google's Nuvem cable is now physically connected at Sines, completing a disclosed landing sequence between South Carolina, Bermuda, the Azores and mainland Portugal. That changes the system from a route on paper into an Atlantic asset with operating optionality. It does not show…

Indonesia's spectrum signature makes the ranking final, not the networks ready
Minister Meutya Hafid's 21 July signature closed the legal gap left by Indonesia's 10 July spectrum ranking and the 14 July no-objection period. It did not rerun the bids. XLSmart now holds the largest low-band block, Telkomsel the largest mid-band block, and all three winners…

JLM has installed an Indonesia-Singapore optical layer; its capacity number remains undisclosed
PT Jala Lintas Media is using Ribbon's Apollo platform for a new DWDM and data-centre interconnect deployment between Indonesia and Singapore. The first phase changes the operating path for cloud and AI traffic. It does not disclose how many wavelengths are equipped, which subsea…

OpenAI's 16-hour image outage shows why “mitigated” is not recovery
ChatGPT image generation remained in an incident state for roughly sixteen hours and fourteen minutes after several mitigation attempts, while a separate API image-generation error event overlapped for about two hours and forty-six minutes. Both are resolved. The status records…

GitHub's deploy-key failure turned a narrow credential into a delivery bottleneck
GitHub recorded a critical incident in which some SSH repository interactions using deploy keys failed intermittently for about 85 minutes. The provider rolled back a recent code change it described only as a potential cause. The narrow authentication scope can still interrupt…

Scottish Water is buying fewer hand-offs—and a larger BT failure domain
Scottish Water has chosen one supplier to carry network and security responsibility across roughly 7,000 connections and a large operational-technology estate. The award can replace coordination gaps with a common operating picture. It also concentrates transition, dependency and…

One vehicle platform turns Kontron's new 5G module line into a demand test
Kontron's Düsseldorf automotive-electronics line began production on 13 July. Eight days later, the company attached its first disclosed customer programme to that capacity: about 150,000 5G network-access modules for one platform of an unnamed European carmaker. The award moves…

KORE leaves the stock market before its new capital plan becomes measurable
KORE's acquisition by Searchlight Capital Partners and Abry Partners is complete, and its shares stopped trading before the market opened. Private ownership may give the IoT connectivity company a longer investment horizon, but the closing notice quantifies the exit price—not the…

NEXTDC's sales ledger is 740MW; its billing floor is still 175MW
NEXTDC added 73MW of customer contracts and lifted pro forma contracted utilisation to 740MW. The demand signal is substantial, but the operating state is not: 565MW sits in the forward order book while 175MW was billing at 30 June. Sales uncertainty has fallen, and the burden of…

Qatar has cable landings; the new test is whether rivals can use them
Qatar's communications regulator has turned the commercial doorway to submarine-cable capacity into a supervised, published process. Decision No. 12 of 2026 requires licensed landing-station operators to submit access offers for approval and publication. That can make entry…

Calix sold more access gear while 230 basis points left gross margin
Calix's second quarter delivered a useful contradiction. Revenue rose to USD293.329 million and GAAP operating income reached USD21.849 million, yet gross margin fell to 54.6%, inventory climbed to USD180.481 million and receivables reached USD136.401 million. Growth is visible…

A 1GW proposal has won a negotiation, not a right to build
The Savannah River Site plan puts a one-gigawatt AI campus beside roughly two gigawatts of proposed generation. That pairing is large enough to change the development route, but not advanced enough to be called capacity. NNSA has selected Amentum to negotiate a phased lease…

Bloomberg reports that a holding company for BlackRock-managed funds' 80% interest in Meta's El Paso project is preparing to sell more than $12bn of bonds. Investor meetings and an expected pricing date move the financing process forward. They do not yet produce settled cash…
