The network fixed itself. Can the customer get online?

A successful software command is not the same as a working broadband service. New research and standards offer a better way to judge network autonomy: follow one customer's service to the end, including the moment somebody must take responsibility.

ACCC wants to see the bill behind the broadband deal

A plan's advertised price is only part of the story. Australia's proposed telecom reporting rule would connect it to individual service records—and let the regulator follow changes without asking for customers' names.

Olga Cavalli and the vote that needed two majorities

Olga Cavalli voted for herself, then for her rival. In Seoul in 2009, thirteen votes to six was not enough to elect a chair. The council that helped set the rules for domain names had a demanding rule of its own.

A Yandex.Cloud stream stopped. The customer still received familiar bots.

Cloudflare's account of the October outage contains two very different losses: search crawlers stopped arriving, while a suspicious stream changed hosting networks. Following the requests reveals what the traffic charts alone cannot.

Vodafone Idea needs a better network before the bigger bills arrive

Customers are returning and network orders are in. The harder part is paying for the recovery while spectrum instalments climb. A funding announcement alone cannot tell us whether that timetable works.

KaliteNet can test your connection. Choosing the next one takes more.

Mauritius now has a public broadband-testing platform and a date for annual reports. The useful question is how a result on one phone becomes advice that another household can trust.

SWIFT built the fibre. Who gets to sell a service over it?

Thousands of interconnection points and a public stake in the infrastructure sound like a recipe for competition. A Canadian ruling shows why the ingredients still need putting together.

Congo's digital plan has approval. What happens after the meeting?

Europe's telecom passport leaves someone else to read the rulebooks

A telecom operator could receive its European passport in a week and still lack the spectrum needed to serve a customer. The proposal's value depends on whether that quick reply makes the remaining work clearer.

HKIX has the traffic. Does it have the connection you need?

Brazil can cut a prison phone's mobile access before officers seize it

Rio's first operation under a new administrative procedure produced an official tally of 143 blocked devices. The next question is what happens between identifying a handset, restricting it and correcting a mistake.

Indonesia's public mobile network needs a successor, not just an end date

Calling a network temporary is easy. Deciding when its users can safely move on is harder. Indonesia's mobile-broadband draft puts that question into its red-zone rules: a carrier must match or improve coverage, availability and quality before state provision ends. The existing…

A cooling failure can stop a payment. Singapore wants the responsibility pinned down.

Two power thresholds and a cloud-revenue test underpin Singapore's new infrastructure regime. The harder question is who can fix the systems when they fail.

TRAI's spam rules: an identity check is not a clean slate

India's September framework gives a sender a way to challenge a spam label. It also says that passing an identity check need not erase an instance from the enforcement history. The distinction matters well beyond the warning on a phone.

Kenya's alarm-fee proposal: why the sixth unit matters

A proposed annual rate of KES 680 sounds easy to budget for. But a five-unit billing rule would make the move from five alarms to six considerably more expensive than the headline suggests.

In Chile's cable clean-up, silence can sign off the work

Smile's old licences have a new buyer in mind. What about users?

Smile Telecoms SA says it has provided no commercial services since receiving its licences around 2009. A proposed transfer to Sporic Solutions puts a more useful question than customer handover on the table: can those rights become a service people can buy?
