NTT's storage test lost 3% across Japan. Ishikari now has to sell it.
Tokyo can reach Hokkaido over a commercial optical circuit. NTT East and BroadBand Tower have also made remote storage read almost as fast as local storage in a defined test. The awkward detail for a data-centre pitch is the address: the test ended at a Sapporo exchange, while…

Kobe’s data-centre tunnel rents for ¥37 a square metre. The expensive part is still missing.
Kobe has leased a 17,000-square-metre stretch of a former conveyor tunnel for ¥7.57 million a year. That is about ¥37 per square metre a month. The project’s future 20 MW target sounds grander; the conversion bill, first power tranche and customer contracts are the figures that…

Futaba’s AI centre went from 32 servers to 96. The 2 MW stayed put.
Digital Dynamic’s earlier filing named 32 B200 systems at its 2 MW Futaba site. Eole’s October update now describes 96 B300 systems for year-end. The companies have not explained whether the new configuration replaces or expands the earlier plan.

The Council Wants a Data-Centre Freeze. Victoria Still Has the Stamp

Adani and Jabil’s AI Hardware Venture Still Needs a Binding Deal
June set out an ambition; October supplied a proposed 50:50 structure. The distinction matters: the partners have described a manufacturing platform, but their latest public document is still a non-binding memorandum, not a funded factory or a customer-backed production plan.

BroadBand Tower: the card was wrong about two things, and silent on the money
A trade-press page puts BroadBand Tower on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Standard market and dates its founding to February 2000. The same page, plus three facility listings from one publisher, leave the operator's revenue mix, capital spending and running capacity unstated — and…

Two Labels, One Exchange: 'Very Small' at APNIC, 'Largest' in Singapore
The same company appears in APNIC's public member directory as a very small member and on its own front page as Singapore's largest not-for-profit internet exchange. The two statements count different populations, and neither of the pages retained for this reading states how much…

Guam Exchange: a Building, a Peering Fabric and an AS Number Under One Name
The BTW directory record for Guam Exchange carries exactly one citation: an autonomous-system query that returned no readable registry text when I retrieved it on 18 October 2026. The operator's own pages point at something more concrete — a peering fabric inside a named…

HKIX has the traffic. Does it have the connection you need?
A busy exchange is reassuring. But its traffic graph cannot tell a network buyer whether the right counterpart is reachable on the right terms.

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.

Tata Power’s 2.8 GW pipeline bundles load, grid and green power
Tata Power’s new data-centre figure is large enough to sound like a single power commitment. Its own breakdown says otherwise: the headline joins upcoming distribution load, transmission-linked opportunities and green-energy engagement. Each sits at a different point in the work…

Project Ares’ EIS Is Set, but Federal Species Review Remains Open
The Northern Territory has chosen an environmental impact statement for Project Ares, but that decision does not approve the project or settle its federal referral. Energy North still owes the Commonwealth information on threatened and migratory species, and the NT EPA has paused…

SoftBank, Grab and PETROS sign a framework, not a build commitment
The 8 October accord sets out a phased roadmap for an AI and digital-infrastructure platform in Sarawak. Its own release says the framework does not require the three parties to sign definitive agreements or implement the project, while land, reliable power, connectivity, finance…

NTT Global Data Centers (Thailand) Limited: Reading Bangkok's Capacity Announcements Against the Evidence
Five sites, one 100-megawatt power contract, and two conflicting sets of capacity figures. The public record on NTT Global Data Centers (Thailand) Limited's expansion tells a clearer story about how datacenter growth gets announced than about how much capacity actually runs.

SOS’s 500MW memorandum needs a 50MW closing table
SOS Limited has put 500MW of ambition, 180MW of tenant interest, at least 60MW of power effort and a 50MW first phase into one announcement. None of those figures has the same legal or operating status. The investable asset begins where the four numbers stop blending.

Huawei brings NPO to 4,096-NPU Atlas 960E
Huawei says its Hi-ONE optical engines cut module count and interconnect power, but production reliability and repair procedures remain unproven outside vendor testing.

Bitdeer secured A202’s 65.1MW facility before it secured the customer
Bitdeer’s ten-year Johor data-centre agreement converts a large block of future electrical capacity into a dated operating commitment. It does not yet convert that capacity into cloud revenue—a distinction that matters far more than the headline value of the company’s sales…

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.
