Fastnet’s Tiny Maryland Power Building Still Faces a Long Approval Chain
Amazon has reduced the proposed shore facility for its U.S.–Ireland Fastnet cable to a power-feed building of less than 700 square feet, with no water connection and limited power demand. The smaller design answers part of Worcester County’s concern about infrastructure…

Telesat Has a Commissioned Gateway, Not Yet a Live Lightspeed Service
Orange and Telesat have turned their Bercenay-en-Othe hosting agreement into a commissioned piece of European ground infrastructure. That is a real change in the programme’s physical state. It is also only one link in a chain that still needs production satellites, a working…

FirstLight Has a 240-Mile Hyperscaler Deal. Diversity Is Still Unproved
FirstLight’s new Albany–Boston agreement is a credible signal that hyperscale demand is reaching regional fibre corridors. It is not yet public proof that the customer has bought two failure-independent paths.

OVH Strasbourg: electrical isolation was an emergency control of its own
The useful lesson from the 2021 fire is not a speculative ignition theory. It is a question about practical control: who can establish the electrical conditions needed for an emergency response, and what would demonstrate that later improvements actually work?

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.

Safe Swiss Cloud: backup choice, recovery evidence and cloud exit
Choosing where a backup lives, restoring a working application and moving a workload away are different tests of customer control. Safe Swiss Cloud’s published material helps separate those tasks—and identify the evidence still needed.

Equinix’s CN1 plan changed from 850 to 800 first-phase cabinets
The Chennai facility’s 2025 opening disclosure carried a higher investment figure and lower cabinet totals than its 2024 plan. Those changes are measurable; the amount ready for a customer to use is a different question.

Optus's 2023 outage: separating penalties from proof of repair
The emergency-call enforcement case shows why restoring connectivity, accounting for affected callers and paying a penalty require different evidence. The 2024 announcements establish historical findings, not a verdict on present compliance.

AWS’s recovery gap: DynamoDB access was not usable EC2 capacity
The October 2025 disruption in Northern Virginia exposed a difference between repairing a dependency and completing the work needed to make new compute usable. The recovery sequence matters more than a single all-clear time.

Cloudflare’s 2022 outage: rollback did not prove independent failover
Cloudflare’s 21 June 2022 outage shows why geographically distributed capacity can still share one failure surface: rollback restored service, while the public record does not show that an independent path carried the load.

Rogers’ 8 July Outage: What the Public Record Can—and Cannot—Prove
Rogers’ 8 July 2022 outage is a useful resilience test precisely because the public record is uneven: it records a regulator’s investigation notice and Rogers’s reported explanation and response, but does not, in the preserved sources, independently establish the failure chain or…
