Vertiv: AI racks are priced on power and thermal, and the record says performance — not demand backlog — is quantified

In a liquid-cooled AI rack, the silicon is no longer the first failure mode. Power conversion, coolant distribution and heat rejection set the deployment ceiling — and Vertiv's own disclosures let readers test whether the supplier layer is shipping at that pace, not merely…

Conceptual isometric illustration of the power-infrastructure layer of an AI data-centre campus on a bright morning: in the foreground a fenced high-voltage substation yard on a concrete pad with two large grey transformers, steel busbars, insulators and switchgear bays; outside the fence a single steel lattice transmission pylon carrying one overhead line; behind them one long low data-centre hall in grey cladding with an even row of rooftop cooling units and pipework, closed louvres above a long narrow band of lower glazing that glows warm amber.

Nebius counts power in gigawatts; its revenue still arrives in megawatts

Nebius Group N.V. reported 454% revenue growth on 12 August 2026 and raised its contracted-power target to 5GW by the end of 2026. The company's own disclosures draw a sharp line between that procurement commitment, the power actually connected to equipped data centres, and the…

Night editorial illustration of a national mobile network gone dark: a single tall steel telecommunications lattice tower stands entirely unlit and unpowered in crisp dark silhouette, shown complete from its base to the top of its antenna head, against an empty deep mid-blue night sky with a low band of faint ground haze; there are no other buildings, no city skyline, no red lights, no illuminated windows, no people and no text.

Twelve calls inside a twelve-hour outage: Optus Internet Pty Ltd and the emergency-call record

The 8 November 2023 Optus failure cut mobile and fixed services across Australia for about twelve hours. The regulator's concluded finding apportions 2,145 failed emergency calls across three named Optus entities, twelve of them to Optus Internet Pty Ltd. The operator's first…

Array Digital Infrastructure’s tower rent book is now the whole company

The Verizon spectrum sale closed on 1 June 2026, and TDS withdrew its take-private proposal on 1 September 2026. What is being tested now is whether a 4,456-tower rent book and a $1.58 billion C-Band-heavy licence stub can carry the company without another parent-led transaction.

CoreWeave's Backlog Is a Delivery Promise, Not Revenue

CoreWeave closed June 2026 with roughly $104 billion of contracted revenue backlog and $2.575 billion of revenue for the quarter. The distance between those two numbers is the company's real operating problem, and CoreWeave's own disclosure language says where it sits: backlog…

BIND 9 repair ends where ISC's support boundary begins

Indus Towers: Control Is Settled, the Cash Is Not

Vodafone Group is out, Bharti Airtel holds about 51%, and shareholders have approved a Rs 14 dividend. But the economics of India's listed tower operator still run through a credit-stressed tenant's payment behaviour, and the accounts show where the mechanism can break.

Airtel's FY26: record operating cash flow, a 34% cut in net debt, and a mobile core that barely grew

Bharti Airtel's financial year to March 2026 reads less as a growth story than as a balance-sheet one. Consolidated revenue reached Rs 210,973 crore, up 22.0% year on year, and EBITDA Rs 121,268 crore at a 57.5% margin, 300 basis points higher ([Q4 FY26 press…

Vodafone Idea: The Bill Was Rewritten; the Bank's Signature Has Not Arrived

The Indian state has rescheduled most of what Vodafone Idea owes it to the 2030s and written the rest down. The Rs 35,000 crore bank facility meant to pay for the network is still a sanction in prospect, not money in the account. The operating numbers have only just stopped…

Axiata grew more valuable by owning less of what earns

Axiata Group Berhad reports its best leverage in years and a doubled dividend, but the two operators that now supply most of its upstream cash are one-third stakes shared with a co-controlling partner, and its 2023 Nepal exit still lacked host-regulator recognition in 2026.
