Broadband / Telco
Urgent rethink of telco-cloud-AI ecosystem required, says TIM - The CEO of TIM outlined how the telecom sector’s priorities are shifting as new digital applications place different demands on networks
My Take: Telcos are starting to realize they are part of the AI stack whether they want to be or not. AI, cloud, and connectivity are no longer separate markets, they are one system. Hyperscalers control cloud and AI, while telcos still own the network, but the value is moving higher up the stack while networks, cloud, and AI converge. If operators stay focused on connectivity alone, the real value will keep moving to the companies that control compute and platforms.
Advancing connectivity with Wi-Fi 9 - Looking ahead, Wi-Fi 9 is expected to evolve alongside future 6G networks as part of a broader, complementary wireless ecosystem, with each technology optimised for different environments and use cases.
My Take: Nokia is outlining its early vision for Wi-Fi 9, saying the next generation of wireless will focus less on peak speed and more on reliability, low latency, and consistent performance for AI, AR/VR, robotics, and real-time applications. Future networks will need to support immersive and autonomous systems where delays or dropped packets can’t happen, and Wi-Fi will have to evolve alongside fiber and 6G to handle those demands. Wireless is becoming part of the compute and AI stack, not just a way to connect devices.
From Wi-Fi to Sci-Fi: The Invisible Evolution Happening Right Now - We thought such abilities were science fiction. But our lowly Wi-Fi network is about to do things we only see in the movies.
My Take: Wi-Fi sensing and quantum sensing could turn everyday network infrastructure into systems that can detect movement, health signals, or environmental changes without cameras or wearables. Networks are moving from simple connectivity to sensing and intelligence, which could turn existing infrastructure into a new layer of data and insight.
The technology will show up first in healthcare, security, and industrial systems, and only later become part of everyday infrastructure once the privacy, cost, and accuracy issues are worked out.
Ciena is seeing a shift in its customer mix due to AI - Ciena is seeing a lot more of its revenue growth coming from hyperscalers. Service provider customers are upgrading their networks to deal with AI traffic. Finally, networking is getting the same respect as compute and storage
My Take: AI is starting to reshape the network business, with hyperscalers replacing telcos as the main drivers of infrastructure spending. These customers need higher capacity, lower latency, and more fiber connectivity to support AI training, data centers, and inter-data-center traffic. Traffic is moving from consumer services to AI workloads, and that is changing who controls the network and where the money goes.
Trump admin wants 6G devices for the Olympics, Qualcomm says - Qualcomm said this morning that the Trump administration wants to deliver 6G earlier, in time for the Los Angeles Olympics in the summer of 2028.
My Take: He wants it because the Olympics are a global stage, 6G is tied to national competitiveness, and the political value of showing leadership may be more important than whether the technology is actually finished. It’ll be the best 6G, more Gs than anyone else, built in America.
NVIDIA, Telecom Leaders Build AI Grids to Optimize Inference on Distributed Networks - AT&T, T‑Mobile, Comcast, Spectrum and others are building AI grids using NVIDIA AI infrastructure, while Personal AI, Linker Vision, Serve Robotics and Decart are deploying real-time AI applications across the grid.
Nvidia GTC: T-Mobile and Nvidia push physical AI to the network edge - Telcos' physical real estate, networks and technical chops are the holy trinity that will usher in floods of new revenue in the AI economy. Telcos are uniquely positioned to deliver AI applications in edge locations such as radio towers and central offices, fed by data carried on telco networks and tended to by telcos' deep ranks of skilled and educated engineers.
Cisco’s Nvidia-powered AI Grid could be a turning point for telcos - While the word “grid” calls to mind familiar electrical infrastructure, Cisco and Nvidia appear determined to build a grid of intelligence using existing telco networks.
Nvidia plots AI grids with operators, partners - during its GTC (GPU technology conference) event, Nvidia has broadened its pitch and teamed up with an initial six network operators, mostly in the US, to propose an architecture it calls AI grids – distributed AI infrastructure deployments that make use of any kind of network node, whether that is part of a fixed, wireless or content delivery network.

My Take: It’s a pretty big thing. Here, I made a little infographic thing to help visualize it. If the application needs lower latency, better token processing or more “real-time” performance, it all makes sense. I think. Doesn’t matter if it’s a fixed or wireless access network, pushing the inference to the edge may deliver a better outcome. What about resilience and redundancy? How are regional providers preparing to support this? If it’s the same backhaul fier, is tere more reliance on it?
Opinion: AT&T debuts new app. Is it as annoying as T-Life? - AT&T’s new app, with the uninspired name “AT&T,” doesn’t include a switching component, but it does allow customers to shop the latest devices and plans, subscribe to home internet service and find the closest AT&T store. True to its “all about convergence” messaging, AT&T emphasizes that customers with both AT&T wireless and AT&T home internet – whether fiber or fixed wireless access (FWA) – can manage their services together in one place.
My Take: Catchy name. Carriers pushing everything into apps is really about cost reduction, not customer experience. AT&T, T-Mobile, and others want more upgrades, support, and sales handled digitally because AI and self-serve tools are cheaper than stores and call centers. The risk is that digital-first can turn into digital-only, and when that happens, customer satisfaction usually drops even if margins improve. I think everyone is expecting everythign to be digital, hands-off and bot-based at some point.
STL, Corning explain multi-core fiber and its importance for data centers - The latest fiber optic technology is multi-core fiber in which four cores are fused together in one fiber strand. This is important because it reduces the size of fiber optic cables in data centers . Multi-core provides 4x capacity but not 4x cost
My Take: Instead of adding more cables, companies can put four cores inside one fiber, which means more capacity without needing four times the space, power, or cost. The real issue is not the fiber itself, it is data-center density, because AI is pushing networks to the point where physical space, cooling, and cabling are becoming the bottleneck, not bandwidth.

Regulatory
CANADA (2026-03-13 to 2026-03-19)
Canada made consumer switching easier this week when the CRTC banned fees that create barriers to changing cellphone and internet plans, marking a significant win for customers tired of being locked into expensive contracts. The decision forces operators to eliminate switching fees entirely, which will likely increase churn rates and force carriers to compete more aggressively on service quality rather than contract lock-in. Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada published updated spectrum standards (SRSP-300-Gen and SRSP-301.7) for radio equipment, though these are routine technical updates without major policy shifts. Beyond these moves, Canada was notably quiet this week with no major spectrum auctions, merger reviews, or wholesale rate decisions. Watch for how operators respond to the switching fee ban in their Q2 earnings calls and whether CRTC follows up with additional consumer protection measures around contract transparency.
🇨🇦 CRTC making it easier to connect Indigenous communities to high-speed Internet and cellphone services - Many Indigenous communities continue to face a gap in access to high-quality Internet and cellphone services. To help close this gap, the CRTC is gathering views on how to better support Indigenous applicants to the fund.
UNITED STATES (2026-03-13 to 2026-03-19)
The FCC finalized rules allowing unlicensed devices to operate in the 6 GHz band at higher power levels using geofencing technology to protect existing microwave links, a move that expands Wi-Fi capacity but creates new interference coordination headaches for incumbent licensees who now must ensure their links are properly registered in geofencing databases. The agency also proposed modernizing relay services for deaf and hard-of-hearing users by deploying automatic speech recognition and adding captioning to video relay services, which will require TRS providers to make significant technology investments. NTIA continued its BEAD program reshuffling with listening sessions on how to redirect funds saved through recent cost reforms, potentially moving billions away from current deployment plans, while also seeking input on AI-enabled radio access network funding that could shape federal dollars for Open RAN adoption. The bigger unresolved issue is NTIA's ongoing examination of whether satellite direct-to-device services operating in L-band spectrum will interfere with GPS, a question that could restrict power levels or operational parameters for SpaceX, AST SpaceMobile, and other satellite-to-smartphone providers. The FCC also enhanced Lifeline and ACP eligibility verification by establishing data sharing agreements with HUD and state agencies, tightening subsidy program oversight that could reduce enrollment but improve program integrity.
Is BEAD turning into a dud? Voices raise various concerns about the program - Many stakeholders in the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program are too polite to call the program a “dud.” But they’re starting to question whether BEAD — since the Trump administration changed the rules in mid-2025 — is going to make a real difference in closing the digital divide.
UNITED KINGDOM (2026-03-13 to 2026-03-19)
Ofcom released its second annual security report under the Communications Act and published detailed implementation reports for the Online Safety Act, including codes of practice for protecting children online and handling illegal content, signaling that enforcement of platform obligations is ramping up after months of planning. The child protection codes require online services to implement age verification and content filtering mechanisms, while the illegal content codes establish clear expectations for how platforms must respond to terrorism and child sexual abuse material. Ofcom's section 128 report documented how it used technology notices in 2024 to compel platforms to deploy detection tools for harmful content, showing regulators are willing to mandate specific technical measures rather than accept voluntary commitments. The agency also published guidance on researcher access to platform data under the Online Safety Act, attempting to balance transparency requirements with commercial confidentiality. Otherwise it was a bureaucratic week with annual reports, board appointments, and space licensing guidance that won't move markets. The critical question is whether platforms will challenge Ofcom's codes of practice in court or comply quietly, with initial compliance deadlines approaching later this year.
Fiber Optic Sensing
GO train near Oakville was seconds away from 'worst-case' derailment, internal Metrolinx report shows - On Jan. 5, a westbound GO train just outside of the Oakville GO Station blew through a stop signal and crossed over to a different track at about 112 km/h when it should have only been travelling at about 24 km/h, despite the driver hitting the brakes, according to the confidential, preliminary Metrolinx report of the incident.
My Take: Ok, this isn’t a story about how fiber sensing was used, its a story about how fiber sensing could have been used, assiming there wasn’t anything else showing that the train was traveliling 4.6x faster than it shoudl have been, and could have derailed.
What’s Happening In Space?
SpaceX To Start Small With 1 Million Satellite Plan, Pushes Back On Critics - The company's rebuttal to the FCC mentions launching orbital data center constellation in phases, and studying potential atmospheric impacts. SpaceX also threw plenty of shade at Amazon.
My Take: Start small with 1 Million Satellites.. That’s 100x what they have in orbit today.
Project Sunrise is a proposed non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) constellation designed by Blue Origin to support data centers in space - Its primary goal is to address the global "infrastructure gap" by providing scalable, sustainable AI compute and cloud services that operate independently of Earth-based constraints like land use, water supplies, and terrestrial electrical grids
My Take: Everyone wants data centres in space now.. Seems that Starcloud got everyone excited 🙂. This is interesting, as it would integrate with TeraWave, Blue Origin’s proposed ~5,400 LEO/MEO constellation, to provide up to symmetrical 144 Gbps to enterprise, government, and data centre applications.
Constellation Scale and Orbit: The system will consist of up to 51,600 satellites operating in circular, sun-synchronous orbits at altitudes between 500 and 1,800 km. This specific orbit allows the satellites to access near-constant solar power, enabling continuous "baseload compute" without drawing from terrestrial power sources.
Orbital Configuration: The satellites will have inclinations between 97 and 104 degrees, with each orbital plane containing roughly 300 to 1,000 satellites.
Optical Data Transmission: For primary data transfer, the satellites will communicate with each other and other networks via optical inter-satellite links. Traffic is routed through Blue Origin’s TeraWave system and other mesh backhaul networks to transmit data back to Earth.
Radio Frequency for Command: While nominal data transfer is optical, the system uses the Ka-band (specifically 18.8–19.3 GHz and 28.6–29.1 GHz) for telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) functions. These RF links are used during early-mission, post-mission, and emergency phases to ensure operational reliability.
Hardware Diversity: To maximize efficiency, Blue Origin plans to deploy multiple versions of satellite hardware, including at least three different antenna variations to meet specific coverage requirements.
Economic Model: The project leverages the high-capacity New Glenn launch vehicle to deliver the infrastructure into orbit, which Blue Origin claims will lower the marginal cost of compute capacity to price points previously unattainable for AI developers
SpaceX launches 10,000th active Starlink satellite in low Earth orbit (video) - The company launched two new batches of the internet relay units on Tuesday (March 17), totaling 54 satellites. The milestone 10,000th Starlink was on board the first Falcon 9 rocket, which successfully lofted 25 satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The second launch added an additional 29 satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
My Take: 10,000 since May, 2019. Talk about a head start. The videos are always great, especially the booster recovery.
🇨🇦 Kepler Deploys First Space-Based, Scalable Cloud Infrastructure Powered by NVIDIA - Kepler Communications today announced the commissioning of distributed on-orbit computing across its Tranche 1 optical data relay constellation, the world’s first commercially operational optical data relay network. This expands the network’s capabilities beyond connectivity to deliver scalable, cloud-like processing directly in space.
My Take: Orbital computing is starting to move from concept to reality, with Kepler turning its satellite network into a space-based cloud using NVIDIA GPUs. The key idea is to process data in orbit instead of sending everything back to Earth, which helps solve bandwidth limits and enables real-time AI and autonomous systems. The bigger shift is that space is becoming part of the compute stack, not just a communications layer, and that could change how future AI and defense infrastructure gets built.
🇨🇦 Confidential settlement for scuttled Starlink deal means Ontarians kept in dark on payout - Taxpayers deserve to know how much they've given to Elon Musk's company, interim Liberal leader says
My Take: We wanna know! 😁
🇨🇦 Government of Canada Selects Spaceport Nova Scotia as Dedicated Sovereign Launch Site for National Defence - Under the agreement announced by the Government of Canada, DND will lease a dedicated launch pad at Spaceport Nova Scotia to support the operational needs of DND, the Canadian Armed Forces, and Canada’s long-term sovereign access to space.
My Take: Canada signed a 10-year, $200 million agreement with Maritime Launch Services to give the Department of National Defence a dedicated launch pad at Spaceport Nova Scotia. The deal guarantees Canada access to launch satellites from its own territory and is part of a broader plan to build sovereign launch capability instead of relying on the U.S. or other countries.
🇨🇦 Company behind NL spaceport wins federal grant to develop orbital rocket - NordSpace was one of three companies that won grants under the Department of National Defence’s Launch the North competition
My Take: “Launch the North” funded Canadian companies to develop rockets, launch sites, and supporting technology so Canada can launch satellites from its own territory. The project includes a spaceport in Newfoundland and Labrador and a planned orbital rocket called Tundra.
Two days, two coasts, two more SpaceX Starlink batches launched - Fifty-four (54) more satellites in low Earth orbit after launches from California and Florida on Friday and Saturday (March 13 and 14).
My Take: One after another… and it will only increase in frequency. Gone are the days of “planning” to see a launch. These days, just look up ;)
Orbital Data Centers: Data or Debris? - “Our analysis suggests that, long-term, the CapEx and OpEx dynamics could bring the economics of orbital data centers closer to parity with terrestrial facilities, provided that innovation continues in ground-link, cooling, and solar-power technologies. In our view, the primary advantage of locating data centres in space would be the comparatively lower barriers to expanding capacity, since they could sidestep many of the regulatory, zoning, and land-acquisition constraints that affect ground-based sites,”
My Take: Launch cost. Hardware cost. The data suggests that Earth is still less expensive. Fun to watch. Interesting to see all the players get on board with trials. I’m sure the “right application” will emerge. Maybe someone shoudl ask AI.

Data Centres
Mother and Daughter Turn Down Over $26 Million to Sell Their Farms to Developers Hoping to Build Data Center - A Kentucky mother and daughter rejected multimillion-dollar offers for their farmland from unidentified developers. The proposed data center project could bring 400 full-time jobs and over 1,500 construction jobs to Mason County
My Take: The fact that the buyer is unnamed shows how sensitive these projects are. Large tech companies often stay quiet early to avoid pushback, but that lack of transparency can create more resistance. I’d still take the money and run, assuming, of course, it’s well beyond market value.
🇨🇦 Bell AI Fabric Expands National Network with 300 MW Data Centre in Saskatchewan - Bell Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan today announced a transformational step forward for Bell AI Fabric and for Canada's AI future: a new 300 MW data centre in the Rural Municipality of Sherwood, Saskatchewan, just outside of Regina.
🇨🇦 Canada's BCE to invest $1.7 billion in Saskatchewan AI data center - Canadian telecom firm BCE said on Monday it will invest an additional $1.7 billion to build a 300-megawatt AI data center in Saskatchewan, with Cerebras and CoreWeave signed on as tenants.
Here’s how Saskatchewan will power Bell Canada’s AI data centre near Regina - According to SaskEnergy, the corporation is developing natural gas infrastructure to serve “Bell’s onsite gas-fired power generation” through its subsidiary, TransGas Limited.
My Take: 300MW gas powered data centre. In Saskatchewan. That’s hyperscale size. Pretty big investment and bet on supporting workload. Will demand will match the scale of the build-out?
The Rise of the Orbital Data Center: Solving the Space Data Bottleneck - ‘By integrating NVIDIA-powered edge GPUs with optical inter-satellite links (OISLs), these platforms allow for real-time data reduction. Instead of downlinking thousands of raw images, an ODC can run a computer vision model in orbit and only transmit the specific coordinates of a detected object.
My Take: The naysayers will continue to poop on it, but If launch costs keep falling, the real change will be that the cloud no longer lives only on Earth, and the companies that control space compute could control the next layer of digital infrastructure.

Enabling AI
NVIDIA GTC Keynote - Jensen Huang’s speaks for over 2 hours..
My Take: A little over 2 hours (less if you watch at 1.5x, of course) and oh, my.. So many things in here. I’m going to link another post below that provides a summary, but the real focus is on Tokens/Watt, speed of token processing and maximixing efficiency of data centre compute. $40B to build out a 1GW Data Cetre. Jensen see $1T (that’s trillion) of potential revenue in 2027. Physical AI is huge. Not about asking LLMs anymore, it’s about telling Agents what you want, not what to do. The hardware they’re building is crazy. Tokens are the commodity to define value, pricing, and competition.
A couple of summaries, but watch it anyway!
Agents, inference and token economics – Nvidia pitches the AI future - The message from Nvidia chief Jensen Huang at GTC this week is that AI is no longer about models or chips alone, but about monetizing inference at scale – where tokens become the core unit of value, and data centers evolve into revenue-generating factories.
NVIDIA GTC 2026: Live Updates on What’s Next in AI - Rolling coverage from San Jose, including NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote, breakout highlights, live demos and on‑the‑ground color through March 19.
In case you missed NVIDIA GTC 2026 - here is everything you need to know
100 billion agents – new networks (and new KPIs) for AI, says Huawei - Huawei is proposing a new method to evaluate service quality for AI applications called AI MOS, modeled after the Mean Opinion Score used to measure voice service quality
My Take: If agents really become the main users of connectivity, the winners will be the operators and vendors that prepare for uplink-heavy, low-latency, always-on AI workloads before the demand fully shows up.
Google is using old news reports and AI to predict flash floods - Flash floods are among the deadliest weather events in the world, killing more than 5,000 people each year. They’re also among the most difficult to predict. But Google thinks it has cracked that problem in an unlikely way — by reading the news.
My Take: Isn’t that how models are trained and hurricanes path are predicted? Either way, people in areas with sketchy cell service should use Weather Radios to be alerted of severe, and often life threatening, situations.
The Gemini-powered features in Google Workspace that are worth using - The best Gemini features are arguably the more practical tools that help you manage information faster, such as summarizing, drafting content, organizing data, and tracking all those meetings. Let’s go through all the best ones.
My Take: I’m a Google Workspace user (Google Meet is way better than Teams, btw…) and have used some of the new tools. They’re pretty good - especially if you’re working on summary or follow up email where it has context of everything that has been received and sent.
Nvidia details NemoClaw security guardrails in wake of AI agent concerns - Nvidia detailed the security guardrails behind Nemoclaw, its newly-released integration with AI agent platform OpenClaw, with a break down of its agentic execution environment, as also unveiled at this week's GTC conference.
My Take: Nvidia says the risk with agents like OpenClaw is that if they get hacked or misconfigured, they can cause damage very fast. OpenShell tries to solve this by putting strict controls outside the agent, so the agent can’t override them. Instead of trusting the AI to behave, the system limits what the AI is allowed to do. This matters because companies are rushing to use agentic AI, but security and governance aren’t keeping up, which could lead to major incidents.
OpenAI’s own mental health experts unanimously opposed “naughty” ChatGPT launch - OpenAI draws a line between AI “smut” and porn. Experts fear it’s all unhealthy.
OpenAI’s Bid to Allow X-Rated Talk Is Freaking Out Its Own Advisers - Warnings surface that the company risks creating a ‘sexy suicide coach’ if it begins allowing sexually explicit chats
My Take: It’s not about porn. It’s about emotional dependency. When users start treating chatbots like relationships, small safety gaps can turn into serious harm, and the industry may be moving faster than it understands the consequences.
QUICK HITS:
This and That!
A defense official reveals how AI chatbots could be used for targeting decisions - Though the US military's big data initiative Maven has sped up the planning of strikes for years, the comments suggest that generative AI is now adding a new interpretative layer to such deliberations.
My Take: “The disclosure about how the military may use AI chatbots comes as the Pentagon faces scrutiny over a strike on an Iranian school, which it is still investigating.”
My Take: I guess all thay money spent to acquire and build “Avocado” isn’t panning out as expected.
FBI is buying location data to track US citizens, director confirms - This is the first time since 2023 that the FBI has confirmed it was buying access to people’s data collected from data brokers, who source much of their information — including location data — from ordinary consumer phone apps and games
My Take: buying information on Americans without obtaining a warrant was an “outrageous end-run around the Fourth Amendment,” referring to the constitutional law that protects people in America from device searches and data seizures.
World Happiness Report 2026: Happiness Rankings and Trends - The annual World Happiness Report assesses the current state of happiness across nearly 150 countries. The country rankings are powered by nationally representative data from the Gallup World Poll.


My Take: You can download the report through the link above. Apparantly porn is worse than firearms, and sme parents with their kids never had bikes, radio or newspapers. I guess they’re using the boks to to their friend’s homes to watch porn.
Scientists use 'negative light' to send secret messages hidden inside heat - Using a phenomenon called "negative light," scientists invisibly transferred data disguised as background thermal radiation.
My Take: That’s very cool. Get it? Huh??
Diagnostic dilemma: A doctor discovered the gene mutation behind his family's mysterious missing-teeth condition - A doctor who had a genetic condition that prevents teeth from forming searched for the DNA mutation that had affected his family for over 150 years.
My Take: I wonder if he discovered it while playing his banjo by the fire with his sister-wife?

Movie/Streaming Recommendation

IMDb: 7.6/10
JMDb: 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿/10 (roar..)
Netflix’s 2026 documentary miniseries The Dinosaurs is a lushly mounted, four‑episode march through 165 million years of deep time, from tentative Triassic origins to that infamous Cretaceous curtain call.
Executive producer Steven Spielberg and the Silverback/Amblin team clearly want this to be the definitive small‑screen chronicle of dinosaur life, and at times they almost get there.
Morgan Freeman’s narration is the series’s secret weapon, grounding the barrage of CGI spectacle with a calm, almost elegiac authority that makes even well‑worn facts feel newly unearthed. The visuals are occasionally plasticky, as some critics have pointed out, but the best sequences fuse credible science with muscular storytelling, evoking the immersive sweep of a big‑budget nature film.
It’s not revolutionary television, yet it’s rousing, accessible paleo‑cinema—and a likely gateway drug for the next generation of dinosaur obsessives
..and not a Jeff Goldblum in sight..
