The Office and the Rulebook: What John Curran's ARIN Record Can Actually Attribute

A registry chief executive is easy to describe and hard to hold to account. The job sits at the end of a chain that begins with a community proposal, passes through a board, and finishes in an operational queue. This briefing separates those links using the two ARIN documents…

The Caspian cable is launched; the corridor still has to perform

The 380-kilometre link between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan has crossed a real commissioning milestone. Its design capacity and inauguration establish the segment; they do not yet show how much end-to-end traffic the wider Asia–Europe route carries.

Ascenty: The Megawatt That Travels Without Its Basis

Brazil's data-centre buildout is routinely described in megawatts, but the documents gathered for this report on 18 October 2026 contain no megawatt figure for Ascenty Data Centers e Telecomunicações S/A at all — and that gap is the story, because the unit itself is doing work…

e&’s 500 Tbps target needs a definition before it can be audited

The operator’s 2030 ambition is easy to repeat and difficult to verify. A dated baseline, a stable perimeter and a clear account of what “capacity” counts would turn the headline into a monitorable commitment.

France’s 1800 MHz sharing pools capacity but keeps licence duties separate

France’s four mobile operators can now pool 1800 MHz radio capacity at selected shared sites. Arcep’s decision leaves each licensee answerable for its own deployment duties.

The Solomon Islands end of the Coral Sea Cable System belongs to a company registered in Australia

A single landing at Honiara carries the country's international traffic, but the instruments that decide what a buyer there can contract sit one layer up: in an Australian ownership vehicle and a rights-of-use grant. This briefing reads what the operator publishes about both, and…

The CRTC’s reporting review asks what oversight can safely stop collecting

The CRTC has put seven reporting duties on a fast track for review. The harder question is what evidence would remain when a form disappears.

Ottawa’s 2008 access agreement kept relocation costs with Videotron

A 2008 municipal access agreement continued to govern Ottawa transmission equipment after a chain of corporate transfers brought it under Videotron. The CRTC’s decision shows why ownership records and right-of-way contracts need to travel together through an acquisition.

Texas’s data-center permit pause has two reporting checkpoints, neither stated as an automatic expiry. TCEQ’s update is due 19 October and ERCOT’s report is planned by 10 December; the signed instruction keeps TCEQ’s pause in place until ERCOT completes its review.

Alberta’s 568 overlay sets an eight-month buffer against a moving forecast

Canada opens wireless number-porting systems to full MVNOs

The CRTC has let registered full mobile virtual network operators port numbers through the shared system directly. Its ruling separates that right from ownership of the radio network and leaves the consortium responsible for the rule changes that make access workable.

An overhead technical still life on a dark matte surface: eight small brushed-metal datacenter markers sit on a faint etched map outline, joined by thin glowing fibre lines. Three markers are clustered tightly in one corner and drawn larger, ringed with a cool white halo and linked by three heavy bright connections. At the near edge a plain brushed-steel access panel with one recessed keycard slot and an unlit indicator stands in front of a blank, matte region of the diagram where capacity bars and a traffic curve would otherwise be drawn. No lettering, numbers or logos appear anywhere in the frame.

SwissIX publishes the fabric, not the load across it
