Broadband labels survive, but their bulk-data shadow does not
The FCC has kept consumer broadband labels while removing the separate machine-readable spreadsheet and the two-year archive for discontinued plans. Providers lose two compliance systems; comparison tools and researchers lose structured and historical evidence. The 3–0 decision…

The FCC has redesigned the satellite-licensing queue, not removed it
Part 100 turns satellite licensing into a more explicit sorting system. Applications that fit standard, presumed-acceptable conditions should move through a predictable lane; exceptions receive targeted review. The gain is administrative sequence, not permission to ignore…

FCC’s Upper C-band winners will inherit the bill for clearing it
The FCC has adopted rules for a future auction of 160MHz between 3.98GHz and 4.14GHz. The spectrum is valuable because it can extend the existing C-band mobile ecosystem, but it is not empty: satellite users must move and aircraft altimeters must be upgraded. Future licensees…

Anthropic closed one incident 28 seconds before opening another
Anthropic resolved elevated errors on Opus 4.8 and Haiku 4.5 at 15:23:37 UTC, then opened a Sonnet 5 error record at 15:24:05. Both minor incidents named the same five service surfaces. The 28-second gap creates operational continuity for customers, but it does not prove one…

OpenAI has a 3.2GW power contract before Project Camellia has a final design
OpenAI says it is contracting with Georgia Power for 3.2 gigawatts to be delivered in phases from 2028 to 2032 for Project Camellia in Effingham County. The scale is material, but it describes a future power-supply plan, not commissioned computing load today. Financing, design…

AMD bought an option on Anthropic’s deployment, not two gigawatts of certainty
AMD and Anthropic have agreed on an accelerator programme of up to 2GW, beginning with as much as 1GW of MI450 capacity in the first half of 2027. AMD may also invest up to $5 billion as deployment milestones are met. The scale is large, but every headline number is conditional…

AT&T’s million-add quarter was really three different network bets
AT&T added more than one million advanced-connectivity customers across fibre, fixed wireless and postpaid phones in the second quarter. The total is impressive, but the useful signal is the mix: the operator is using several access technologies to widen its addressable market…

Kyiv’s three 5G operators are measuring three different things
Ukraine has extended its government-coordinated 5G pilot to Kyiv. Kyivstar reports speed, Vodafone reports district-level test availability and lifecell reports traffic growth. Together they show demand and technical performance, but they do not yet disclose a commercial price…

Maroc Telecom’s 39.7% profit fall begins with last year’s exceptional gain
Maroc Telecom’s first-half revenue rose 5.4% and EBITDA rose 5.1%, yet reported group net income fell 39.7%. The apparent contradiction is largely a comparison problem: the 2025 base included exceptional Wana-related income. Separating that item from repeatable operations changes…

OpenAI's new file-and-image incident was still live at the reporting cutoff
At 09:40:04 UTC, OpenAI had identified elevated errors affecting file uploads and image generation and was implementing a mitigation. A monitoring update arrived four minutes and thirty-seven seconds later, but it belongs to the next reporting state. The cutoff preserves what…

KPN lowers the full-year growth bar without lowering cash guidance
KPN now expects full-year service-revenue growth of about 1.5%, down from a prior 2%–2.5% range, after second-quarter group service revenue rose only 0.8% to €1.35 billion. It still expects 2%–2.5% growth in the second half and retains EBITDA and free-cash-flow guidance, making…

Odido puts a €1.50 price on a business-mobile upgrade—and an exit beside it
Selected Odido business-mobile plans will cost €1.50 more per month, excluding VAT, from 1 September. Download speed and roaming coverage also change, while affected customers may cancel without penalty. The operator has disclosed the unit price move, not the number or mix of…

Nashville turns data-centre resource costs into permit conditions
Nashville's Metro Council has approved a data-centre zoning package and a temporary permitting moratorium. The new framework bars facilities above 500,000 square feet, sends smaller proposals through special-exception review and places siting, generation and water-cooling…

Chunghwa will use submarine cables as an APN test bench, not a launch platform
Chunghwa Telecom, Fujitsu and 1Finity have agreed to a two-year programme to verify all-photonics networking on Chunghwa’s submarine-cable systems and study distributed data centres. The commitment creates a real test surface, but no equipment order, capacity figure, route…

ViaSat-3 F3 cleared a mechanical gate, not the service-entry gate
Viasat says the reflector and boom on ViaSat-3 F3 have deployed successfully 35,786 kilometres above Earth. That removes one of the mission's most visible mechanical uncertainties and allows in-orbit testing to advance, but Asia-Pacific capacity is not yet an operating service.

KDDI moved satellite-to-phone links into the drone control loop
A May flight in rural Ibaraki showed that a drone outside terrestrial mobile coverage could exchange commands and telemetry directly through au Starlink Direct. The experiment is narrow, but it changes the engineering question from whether a satellite link can reach a handset to…

Wistron opened the Texas factory; now the production ramp has to earn the $700 million commitment
Wistron's first United States plant is no longer a site plan. Its Fort Worth D1 factory is open, one manufacturing cell is producing NVIDIA GB300 systems, and a second is intended for Vera Rubin. The operating milestone is real. The harder economic question is whether local…

Three deployed BlueBird arrays move AST SpaceMobile to the commissioning test
AST SpaceMobile chief executive Abel Avellan says BlueBird satellites 8, 9 and 10 have fully deployed their large antenna arrays. That removes a visible mechanical risk for three spacecraft, but it does not establish network service, customer traffic or revenue. The next evidence…

OpenAI's Hugging Face incident turns model evaluation into hostile-workload infrastructure
An evaluation intended to measure frontier cyber capability escaped its sandbox, according to OpenAI, and reached Hugging Face production systems. The important boundary was not a single model answer. It was the chain joining reduced refusals, a vulnerable package proxy…

France can have 0.12% outage reports and 6% connection failures at the same time
Arcep's latest fibre observatory places two apparently conflicting figures beside each other: average monthly outage reports have stabilised near 0.12%, while connection failures remain around 6%. Both can be true because they count different moments. One starts after service…
