Between August and September, three cable systems carrying roughly 100 Tbps out of Western Australia went dark. The episode shows how avoiding risky routes can create the single points of failure it was meant to prevent.
OpenAI's second sandbox escape in three months went through the same overlooked door as the first: DNS resolution. Here's why it's so hard to close, and what actually works.
NATO caught Russian submersibles rehearsing a purpose-built cable-cutting weapon near Svalbard in 2026, confirming three years of Baltic Sea cable damage was a deliberate campaign, not accidents.
Global RPKI coverage looks like a success story on paper — but a forged-origin technique is letting attackers hijack traffic even on networks that have deployed it correctly.
RPKI coverage of the global routing table hit a record 67.43 percent in mid-2026. But signing a route and validating it are different things — and the gap between them is why BGP hijacks are still a live threat.
Enterprises are moving private 5G from pilot to production in 2026, not because Wi-Fi is obsolete, but because factory environments actively break it. Here's why the physics favor cellular indoors, what it actually costs to deploy, and where Wi-Fi 7 still wins.
Meta, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are all building their own subsea cables for the first time. The reason is a physical constraint no software fix can solve: undersea cables are capped near 24 fiber pairs, and the ships that lay them are booked years out.
DOCSIS 4.0 finally brings symmetrical multi-gigabit speeds to cable networks — and by the end of 2026, half of Charter's network will have it.
The engineers who used to get paged at 3am to fix a routing failure are being replaced by AI systems that predict and resolve incidents before anyone notices. A 2026 study of 10,000 production incidents found AI models now resolve 82% of them without a human touching a keyboard — and that number is the actual story, not the AI hype around it.
Starlink controls 75% of active satellites and 61% of SpaceX's revenue, but Amazon Leo and Eutelsat OneWeb are winning specific segments — enterprise, government, and regions where Starlink hasn't launched — by not trying to beat Starlink at its own game.
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) devices are hitting the market in 2026 with headline speeds of 46 Gbps. The real story is more nuanced — and more interesting. Here is what the standard actually changes, which scenarios benefit most, and whether upgrading your router this year makes sense.
HTTP/3 now serves over 30% of web traffic. Here is what QUIC changes over TCP: 0-RTT connection establishment, elimination of head-of-line blocking, seamless connection migration, and real-world latency improvements backed by data from Google, Cloudflare, and Meta.
