What’s Happening On Earth?

🇨🇦 LILLEY: CRTC's misguided internet ruling needs hard reboot from Carney Liberals - If we want investment and jobs in Canada, we need smart decisions, not dumb ones. Too often, though, the federal government or federal regulators favour dumb decisions over smart ones and drive investment and jobs out of the country.

My Take: It’s a harsh article.

🇨🇦 Canadian media giant Rogers named as victim of Chinese telecom hackers - Canadian telecom and mass media provider Rogers Communications was identified as a firm ensnared by a major Chinese hacking group that has targeted dozens of communications firms worldwide, according to two people familiar with the matter.

My Take: Couldn’t they have injected some virus to cut my bill in half every month?

🇨🇦 Greater penalties needed for copper theft, telecoms maintain - The co-chair of the Canadian telecom network resiliency working group at the department of Industry, Science and Economic Development (ISED) is calling on the federal government to increase the penalties for copper theft on telecom grids as the crimes become more prevalent.

Tougher consequences needed for copper thieves as incidents increase, says Bell Canada - The telecommunications company has already tallied 80 incidents of copper theft in the province this year, with 80 per cent of reports occurring in the Fredericton-Oromocto area.

Theft of copper wire a 'growing crisis' for Bell across Canada - 'Copper theft is a serious crime that directly threatens the safety and well-being of Canadians,' says official from telecommunications giant

Bell Canada names Windsor as 'hotspot' city for copper thefts - Copper wire crooks are cashing in, and Windsor’s paying the price — with Bell Canada saying it’s been targeted here with more thefts so far this year than in all of 2024.

My Take: It’s clearly a problem, and it’s not just a Tier 1 problem.

🇨🇦 Canadian companies advance digital twin technology, despite lagging adoption at home - Digital twin technology is making it easier for workers in industries such as energy or construction to monitor sites remotely via virtual 3-D models, saving time and money, and keeping staff safe in the event of an emergency. But while Canadian technology is being adopted by companies around the world to take advantage of this competitive edge, adoption rates at home are lagging.

My Take: I’ve been told that it’s due to the lack of ‘rules’. I suggested there should be some grant programs to incentivize people - with the caveat they would have to share all of their data with a central repository ;)

AT&T to Accelerate Fibre Rollout After Big Beautiful Bill - AT&T commits to expanding its fibre network by 1 million locations yearly from 2026, following the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s pro-investment policies

My Take: Allowing 100% depreciation has a huge impact on free cash flow and the ability to invest to move faster.

Comcast cuts network energy consumption even as traffic climbs - Comcast said its virtualization efforts have helped improve network energy efficiency by 49% since 2019 despite ongoing increases in data usage.

My Take: Did they overall usage, or their usage? Did they just shift it to another cloud-based instance?

Final BEAD Rules Released - There are a few things we know. It’s clear that a lot of State Broadband Offices (SBOs) still want to maximize the amount of awards made to fiber. We also know that overall eligible BEAD locations are being reduced by allowing a map challenge from WISPs that use unlicensed spectrum. Preliminary estimates are that as many as 15% of BEAD passings might be removed from the grant process, but we’ll have to wait and see if WISPs use this challenge.

My Take: The whole map challenge - WISPs vs LEO - is all sort of strange.

US big 3 rally after Texas flooding - Major US operators scrambled various mobile connectivity equipment for consumers and emergency services responding to flash flooding estimated to have killed at least 81 people in the state of Texas.

My Take: That’s what FirstNet is for.

GFiber exec: PON network slicing will lead to more personalized broadband - GFiber and Nokia teamed on a PON slicing trial focused on gaming, and are exploring ways to hand more control to broadband subs. 'We're questioning if the one-size-fits-all pipes are still relevant,' says GFiber's Nick Saporito.

My Take: Standards. That’s what will be required for integration and interoperability, especially if there’s any planned 5G applications.

Network-as-a-service (NaaS) providers will collectively generate USD14.7 billion from their offerings in 2029 - In this episode, Joseph Attwood, Analyst, and Catherine Hammond, Research Director, discuss growing opportunities in the network-as-a-service (NaaS) market for service providers. In particular, they discuss Analysys Mason’s recent NaaS forecast, which estimates that NaaS connectivity revenue worldwide will grow at a CAGR of 42% between 2024 and 2029 to reach USD14.7 billion

My Take: Complete with a nice podcast to discuss it all..

Gartner, IDC reports highlight HPE-Juniper, Cisco dynamic - Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) closing on its Juniper Networks acquisition sets up an intriguing battle in the enterprise wired and wireless LAN (WLAN) market, which recent analyst reports note remains dominated by Cisco but has innovation being driven by the newly enhanced HPE.

My Take: I’m sure many will be following the market closely for the next number of years to see where this ends up.

Unpacking HPE/Juniper - The DoJ finally, after making a totally nonsensical objection to the HPE/Juniper deal, followed up with a somewhat compensating irrelevant settlement deal, leaving things just about where they’d been before the whole mess began. But, of course, where that might be in an overall market sense is still up in the air.

My Take: Tom always has great analysis and insights, so if you want to understand more, read his post.

Appeals court sides with Cisco in network virtualization patent fight - Cisco has prevailed in a years-long legal battle with Egenera after a federal appeals court affirmed that the networking giant did not infringe on patents related to network virtualization.

My Take: “The patent infringement dispute dates back to 2016, when Egenera sued Cisco, alleging that the UCS platform infringed its patent for a digital processing platform capable of deploying virtual systems via software commands.”

🇨🇦 CRTC to review impact of large player pricing strategies on indie telecoms - The CRTC said late last month that it will review complaints filed by independent telecoms claiming a price war between larger telecoms is compromising the sustainability of their businesses.

My Take: Yes, this has been going on in various areas for some time and has been a common complaint.

🇨🇦 ‘Company only needed staff to train AI’, Rogers’ ex-employees speak out after mass layoff - Mass layoffs in tech: As per the post, the "management specifically told us (the employees) to stay quiet and not to go to the media about this."

My Take: Hmmm… More AI casualties?

To land Meta’s massive $10 billion data center, Louisiana pulled out all the stops. Will it be worth it? - On a massive, 2,250-acre site about 250 miles north of New Orleans, hundreds of construction workers and tons of heavy equipment are turning former soybean fields into what will be the largest data center in the Western Hemisphere. And in the process, officials say, they are transforming Louisiana’s economy.

My Take: And one day it will be the largest WalMart in the Western Hemisphere.

Building Tomorrow's Infrastructure Today - The future of infrastructure is being written in light. In a groundbreaking collaboration that promises to transform how we monitor, maintain, and protect our critical infrastructure, The Berkeley Center for Smart Infrastructure and the Fiber Optic Sensing Association (FOSA) recently convened industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers for the FOSA 2025 mid-year meeting at UC Berkeley's campus and Richmond Field Station.

My Take: We need some folks to prove some great ROI models to help with solution adoption.

The Future of Submarine Cable Maintenance: - The study was released publicly in June 2025 with the goal to serve as a common, data-based reference for industry stakeholders to collectively understand and address the challenges related to future sustainability of the maintenance sector.

My Take: Quite the involved report. Flipped through it, but didn’t read it.

The State of the Internet in France - These three findings alone reveal the extent to which the promise of a lastingly open internet is by no means a foregone conclusion. It was with this in mind that we published our Ambition 2030 strategy back in January. It is driven by one clear aim: to ensure that France has the digital infrastructures it needs for the coming decades, while guaranteeing that the internet remains an area of freedoms.

My Take: Interesting to scan through..

Orb Is the Internet Speed Test Your Wi-Fi Has Been Waiting For - Orb is a free, sophisticated speed testing application. It doesn’t just test your download and upload speeds; it measures the overall health of your home network holistically, using multiple metrics and continuous speed tests without slowing down your Wi-Fi.

My Take: Qualitative “responsiveness” testing vs quantitative “speed tests”, that mean virtually nothing to anyone looking to measure experience.

What’s Happening In Space?

What’s in Space This Week?

🇨🇦 Can Canada get to orbit? Companies NordSpace and ProtoSpace hope to launch country's 1st space mission (exclusive) - At a coastal site on the southeastern tip of Newfoundland, a brand-new rocket is nearly ready for flight. It was built entirely in Canada, fueled by kerosene and ambition, and spearheaded by a startup with its eyes on orbit. NordSpace is on track to conduct the first commercial liquid-fueled rocket launch in Canadian history — a suborbital shot scheduled for mid-August.

My Take: It would be cool to see. They should run a contest 😉 Canada needs launch capacity.

🇨🇦 Securing satellite connectivity: A foundation for trust in the LEO era - While this extended connectivity is vital, satellite links must be integrated with terrestrial telecom networks without creating security challenges. For service providers and global enterprises alike, cybersecurity has become a baseline requirement, not an option, for business success. Strategic security questions require detailed answers if enterprise customers are to trust non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) in the same way as terrestrial telecom infrastructure.

My Take: Does anyone secure private terrestrial infrastructure?

The Space Economy: A New Frontier for Business Growth and Innovation - Companies that adopt space-based technologies will gain a significant competitive advantage. But to realize these benefits, companies must take concrete steps to integrate space into their core strategy.

My Take: Embrace space. That’s all.

UK Space Agency Launches $103M Procurement to Tackle Space Debris - UKSA said in a July 3 announcement it is targeting a single supplier for a five-year research and development contract. The plan for the Active Debris Removal (ADR) mission is to capture and de-orbit two non-functioning U.K.-licensed satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO).

My Take: Grab it and bring it back home.

Chinese scientists propose 2033 Neptune orbiter mission - Scientists are proposing China’s first ice giant mission, aiming to launch a radioisotope-powered spacecraft to orbit Neptune and study its enigmatic moon Triton.

My Take:

Starlink's Airspace Ambition: How Satellite Tech is Redefining Aviation Infrastructure - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) recent expansion of Starlink testing marks a pivotal moment in aviation infrastructure modernization. As traditional air traffic control systems—reliant on aging, ground-based towers—struggle to meet rising demand and safety standards, Starlink's satellite-based network offers a scalable, cost-efficient alternative. This shift underscores a broader trend: technological innovation is forcing regulatory adaptation and unlocking new market opportunities in aerospace.

My Take: “The FAA's trials, now spanning 41 Starlink connections across Alaska, Oklahoma, and New Jersey, aim to address critical vulnerabilities. Alaska's weather data restoration—a lifeline for remote pilots—demonstrates Starlink's immediate utility. Meanwhile, tests in urban centers like Atlantic City evaluate its ability to integrate with fiber and wireless systems, signaling a hybrid future for air traffic management.”

I've Spent $6K on Starlink Internet So Far. Here's Why It's Worth Every Penny - SpaceX's satellite service isn't cheap, but in my patch of rural Idaho, it's by far the best way to get online. And over my three years using Starlink, it's become much faster and more reliable—my long-term testing proves it.

My Take: It does sound expensive.

🇨🇦 MDA Space Reports Digital Beam-Forming Demonstration With Aurora Technology - MDA Space has reported a digital beam-forming milestone with its technology for the Aurora satellite platform. The Canadian manufacturer reported July 9 using its Ka-band direct radiating array (DRA) to digitally form and steer multiple beams, calling it a key milestone in the development of the digital payload technology for Aurora. 

My Take: An important milestone that is key to performance and scaling

How did Elon Musk's Starlink become so dominant in the market? - Elon Musk's business empire has had a rocky year so far with one notable exception. Most satellite internet traffic goes to his satellite internet service, Starlink. How did Starlink become so dominant? And can it stay that way? Our colleagues Darian Woods and Wailin Wong at the Indicator report.

My Take: If you own the end to end infrastructure, you can clearly do all sorts of things.

LATAM touts GEO/LEO as it turns to Viasat Wi-Fi for widebodies - Latin American airline holding company LATAM Group has for years offered Intelsat 2Ku-powered broadband inflight connectivity on Airbus narrowbodies flying short- and medium-haul. Now the Group has contracted Viasat to bring multi-orbit capable Ka-band satellite-supported IFC to 60-plus widebody aircraft operating flights to Australia, Europe, North America and more. The deal is valued at $60 million.

My Take: Not Starlink.

Connectivity as Versatile as the Aircraft, Starlink High-Speed Internet Now Available for Cessna Caravan- Textron Aviation announced an additional high-speed internet connectivity solution for the Cessna Citation Caravan following the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) issuance of AeroMech's Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for Starlink high-speed internet connectivity. (Photo: Textron Aviation)

My Take: Now the little people can have it, too! :)

Wi-Fly! Virgin Atlantic becomes the first UK airline to announce free, fleet-wide Starlink Wi-Fi - Virgin Atlantic is the first UK airline to announce plans to introduce Starlink in-flight connectivity. The airline will begin installing streaming-quality Wi-Fi on its Boeing 787s, Airbus A350s, and A330neos from Q3 2026, with the installation expected to be completed by the end of 2027.  

My Take: Hope they don’t have the same problems as United.

SpaceX's Starlink Is Now Beaming Wi-Fi to 1,000 Planes - Hundreds more aircraft are set to install Starlink in-flight Wi-Fi, though United Airlines is still working through interference concerns.

My Take: That’s a pretty strong accomplishment!

How Much Money Does Starlink Make? This Document Offers a Glimpse - One analyst says the financial statement raises questions about the economics of Starlink and the costs of maintaining the satellite internet system.

My Take: Did you think North America was their biggest market?

Amazon’s Kuiper satellite push could yield $7B revenue by 2032 – BofA - Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN)'s multibillion-dollar satellite internet project, Kuiper, is accelerating its launch schedule and could generate $7.1 billion in consumer revenue by 2032, Bank of America said in a note Thursday.

My Take: They’re already late and I’m sure looking to generate revenue as soon as possible.

New report predicts daily U.S. commercial space launches within decade - A new report by the Federal Aviation Administration – which licenses U.S.-based commercial space launches and re-entries, counted 142 operations in 2024 by seven companies. SpaceX accounted for 83% of the total, or 118 launches.

My Take: Some would say more than one.

Space industry urges US Congress not to axe system that prevents satellite collisions - The White House's 2026 budget proposal seeks $10 million for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Space Commerce, an 84% cut from the office's 2025 funding that would terminate Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS), a civilian system to help prevent satellite collisions and alert operators of potential crashes.

My Take: Really? It’s an expensive problem.

Amazon Kuiper flags spectrum concerns as Indian telcos seek exclusive microwave access for 5G, 6G backhaul - Amazon’s satellite broadband arm, Project Kuiper, has cautioned India’s telecom regulator against hastily assigning the 18 GHz and E-band spectrum for terrestrial backhaul, warning that it could jeopardise the rollout of affordable satellite broadband across the country.

My Take: Spectrum. The final frontier. Always the contentious issue.

All.Space’s New Terminal Can Access Multiple Ka-band Networks at Once - “We’ve supercharged [the terminal] to give a Ka capability that wide, instantaneous bandwidth,” CTO John-Paul Szczepanik told Via Satellite. “It unlocks being able to access Amazon Kuiper as well as Telesat Lightspeed, and you need instantaneous bandwidth to do that. You have to be able to operate across the 400 to 500 MHz on those networks. It also unlocks Viasat-3.” 

My Take: Likely more of these to come as muti-access is required for resiliency,.

Trusted platform for analyzing and benchmarking satellite constellations, offering unmatched data, analytical rigor, and visual depth. - The Non-GEO Constellations Analysis Toolkit (NCAT) is a powerful, web-based platform designed to evaluate Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite constellations.

My Take: I like the “Fiber vs Satellite Backhaul business case” use case. Maybe I should have Carlos Placido back on the podcast for a demo. Let’s see if he’s reading this ;)

Direct To Device

🇨🇦 Bittium and Terrestar Solutions Advance Direct-to-Mobile 5G NTN Connectivity for Satellite-Enabled Smartphones - Bittium will continue its collaboration with Canadian mobile satellite operator Terrestar Solutions Inc., advancing the next phase of development for a standards-based 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) solution that enables direct-to-mobile satellite connectivity. The solution allows standard smartphones to connect directly to satellites for services such as SMS, chat, voice, and email—delivering essential mobile functionality in remote and underserved areas

My Take: It’s an add-on, but if it works, why not?

We're excited to share our latest White Paper: "MNOs and OEMs Need to Adopt Satellite D2D Now" - This paper provides insights on how satellite direct-to-device (D2D) can be a key differentiator in this new era of mobile connectivity:

My Take: This is the reality of this stuff for now. GEO vs LEO.. again, for now.

T-Mobile moves up launch of T-Satellite service for flooded communities - T-Mobile's Starlink-powered T-Satellite service will launch commercially later this month, but the uncarrier said it has enabled text and emergency SOS messaging for customers in light of recent flooding in central Texas.

My Take: Hope it works out well for them!

Enabling AI

OpenAI is reportedly releasing an AI browser in the coming weeks - The ChatGPT maker reportedly aims to release its browser in the coming weeks. Much like Perplexity’s Comet and The Browser Company’s Dia, OpenAI’s browser is said to use AI to rethink how users browse the web. Supposedly, the browser keeps some user interactions inside ChatGPT instead of linking out to websites. Reuters reports that OpenAI’s browser may integrate Operator, the company’s web-browsing AI agent, as a key feature.

My Take: Between OpenAI and Perplexity (see next), we could have some really interesting browsers available very soon!

Perplexity launches Comet, an AI-powered web browser - Perplexity on Wednesday launched its first AI-powered web browser, called Comet, marking the startup’s latest effort to challenge Google Search as the primary avenue people use to find information online.

My Take: And you have to be paying $200/month to use it..

AI is making the network ‘sexy’ again - There is also growing demand to bolster inter-data center networking connections to help support AI-related data inferencing outside of those main data center locations. This is typically targeted at improving the performance of optical network connections between large data centers in different regions or to edge locations that are closer to end users where most think data inferencing will take place.

My Take: All the cool facilities-based ISPs are ditching their subs and focusing on deploying massive amounts of fiber everywhere, or at least looking at the opportunity..

Lovable is raising at $2B. People are building full products using Lovable and other vibe coding tools. - Here are some of the best projects I have seen over the past few weeks.

My Take: Vibe coding is very cool. I’ve played with a couple of development tools, but have yet to spend enough time to fully debug stuff. I did, however, create a cool AirTable that worked out well.

Federal departments test AI tool to help monitor what Parliament is doing - Federal government departments are testing an artificial intelligence tool that promises to more efficiently track what happens at Parliamentary committees, as Ottawa looks for ways to use the technology to boost public-service productivity.

My Take: AI tools to help figure out what government is doing?

🇨🇦 Canadian firms aren’t doing that much with AI, a new survey suggests - The maturity of AI “appears to be lower in Canada” than elsewhere, the survey states. Georgian put firms into one of four categories—crawler, walker, jogger and runner—based on how significantly and well they’re using the technology. Canadian companies were far more likely to be in those early phases than international rivals, with half walking and just seven per cent running compared to 37 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively. 

My Take: I don’t get it. Why not?

AI regulation won’t really impact the telecom industry – for now - The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is officially legal without a proposed 10-year ban on states regulating AI. While more AI laws may be on the horizon, experts think that probably won’t impact telecom companies using AI – at least not yet.

My Take: Most are only using chatbots, anyway,

Musk unveils Grok 4 as xAI’s new AI model that beats OpenAI and Google on major benchmarks - Musk positioned Grok 4 as a leap forward for artificial intelligence, claiming it outperforms competitors like OpenAI and Google by a wide margin across multiple benchmarks.

Grok is coming to Tesla vehicles ‘next week,’ says Elon Musk - While poking around in Tesla’s firmware, a hacker who goes by the name “green” last week found that drivers can choose between certain Grok “personalities,” including ones that are NSFW (not safe for work).

My Take: The best and highest performing inappropriate AI mode. Maybe it’ll swear at the driver and berate them for their driving habits.

This and That!

🇨🇦 Canadian Woman Sues Rogers, Match Over $1.8 Million Bitcoin Theft - A Canadian woman, Raelene Vandenbosch, has initiated legal action against Rogers Communications and Match Transact Inc. following a SIM swap scam that resulted in the theft of her Bitcoin worth approximately $531,000 in 2021. The value of the stolen Bitcoin has since surged to around $1.8 million. Vandenbosch, a pharmacy manager, alleges that an employee at a phone kiosk owned by Match provided her personal information to a hacker, facilitating the theft.

My Take: That has to hurt a little..

Why Women Are Smarter Than Men - Decades of research show unequivocally that men and women are equal in general intelligence (IQ), but that isn't the case when it comes to emotional intelligence (EQ). There are subtle, and not so subtle, differences in men's and women's expression and understanding of emotions that must be explored and understood.

My Take: I don’t think this comes as much of a surprise to people, does it?

Ransomware Attack Triggers Widespread Outage at Ingram Micro - The outage began shortly before the July 4 holiday weekend and caused disruptions for customer ordering and other services provided by the IT distributor.

My Take: I find it funny when the technology companies get hit. No, it’s not funny, but it’s funny.. perhaps ironic, don’t you think?

Did Ontario's school cellphone ban change student behaviour? Here's what students and staff say - "It was nice and surprising," said the 18-year-old from Humberside Collegiate Institute. "I talked to a lot more people in my classes than I did in the past three years. You actually get to know people."

My Take: Oh, look! Take away the phones and they talk with each other.

AI helps couple get pregnant after 18 years of trying — by finding infertile man’s ‘hidden sperm’ - Borrowing AI technology used by astrophysicists to detect faraway stars and planets, the researchers spent five years developing the STAR system — short for Sperm Tracking and Recovery — to search for life of a different kind.

My Take: AI being used for something useful, for a change.

Inside the most dangerous asteroid hunt ever - As space rock 2024 YR4 became more likely to hit Earth than anything of its size had ever been before, scientists all over the world mobilized to protect the planet.

My Take: “This is the inside story of how, over a span of just two months, a sprawling network of global astronomers found, followed, mapped, planned for, and finally dismissed 2024 YR4, the most dangerous asteroid ever found—all under the tightest of timelines and, for just a moment, with the highest of stakes. “

I wonder when the movie is going to be released?

Cereal maker WK Kellogg shares jump 50% on report of possible $3 billion deal with Ferrero - WK Kellogg, which makes U.S. childhood staples such as Froot Loops and Frosted Flakes, spun off into a standalone company in 2023. A separate publicly traded business, Kellanova, now houses snack brands such as Pringles and Cheez-It. M&M owner Mars agreed to buy Kellanova for $36 billion last year in a deal that has not yet closed.

My Take: Anyone who screws with my Froot Loops will have some explaining to do.

Infographic Of The Week

My Take: I guess there should be more data centers planned for Russia and Iran 🙄
