HPE launches Quantum Scaling Alliance for fault-tolerant quantum computing

HPE launches Quantum Scaling Alliance for fault-tolerant quantum computing
Hewlett Packard Enterprise and seven partners have formed a global consortium to accelerate fault-tolerant, hybrid quantum computing that can be deployed alongside today’s high performance computing and semiconductor ecosystems. Dr. Masoud Mohseni of HPE Labs serves as quantum system architect, coordinating a full-stack effort to design a practically useful, cost-effective “quantum supercomputer,” with the near-term emphasis on hybrid integration, error-correction maturity, and manufacturability. The Alliance is structuring work around the most stubborn barriers to scale: error correction, orchestration with classical systems, and semiconductor-grade design and manufacturing. Aligning supercomputing and semiconductor leaders around a single roadmap increases the odds of reaching fault tolerance on economically viable timelines.

BT and Starlink LEO Broadband for Rural UK Homes

BT and Starlink LEO Broadband for Rural UK Homes
BT Group and its consumer brand EE plan to offer a Starlink-powered home broadband product focused on underserved locations where fixed-line build is constrained by terrain, sparsity, or cost. The service targets “ultrafast” downlink performance, with Starlink capable of delivering up to roughly 280 Mbps and latency in the low tens of milliseconds. Commercial availability is slated for the second half of 2026, giving BT time to industrialise ordering, installation, support, and integration into its existing product catalogue and systems. LEO fills the last 1–5% gap where full fibre is slow or uneconomic to reach.

SkyMirr’s Sky5G™ Router Named CES 2026 Innovation Awards® Honoree

SkyMirr Sky5G Router Wins CES 2026 Innovation Award
SkyMirr’s Sky5G Wireless Router being named a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree signals that antenna-first design is emerging as a decisive lever for 5G customer-premises equipment performance and reliability. The Consumer Technology Association’s awards program recognizes design and engineering that materially advances user outcomes, and SkyMirr’s selection draws attention to a core differentiator: its MuLCAT (Multi-Layer Coupling Controlled Antenna Technology) architecture. Rather than treating the antenna as a downstream component, MuLCAT integrates a multi-layer coupling approach to increase isolation, broaden usable bandwidth, and suppress interference in compact enclosures.

OECD broadband: fibre and 5G drive digital transformation

OECD broadband: fibre and 5G drive digital transformation
OECD data shows fixed and mobile broadband have shifted from build-out to scale-up, with fibre and 5G underpinning a new phase of digital infrastructure. Fixed broadband penetration across the OECD rose to 36.5 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants by end-2024, up from 32 in 2019, while the fibre share of fixed lines jumped from 28 percent to 47 percent over the same period. Gigabit-tier offers (≥1 Gbps) moved from 4 percent of subscriptions in 2019 to 19 percent in 2024, signaling both wider availability and growing appetite for very high throughput. On mobile, average monthly data consumption per subscription increased 2.5x—from 6 GB at end-2019 to 15 GB in 2024, aligned with more video, cloud, and AI-assisted applications shifting to handhelds and connected devices.

U.S. Broadband Speeds Rise as Digital Divide Narrows

U.S. Broadband Speeds Rise as Digital Divide Narrows
According to the latest Speedtest Intelligence findings from Ookla, the share of states where at least 60% of tested fixed-broadband users achieve the FCC’s 100 Mbps down/20 Mbps up benchmark rose sharply between late 2024 and the first half of 2025. That count climbed from 22 states (plus Washington, D.C.) to 38 states (plus D.C.), signaling faster last‑mile networks and better in-home performance for a sizable portion of U.S. households. Progress on equity also accelerated. In the first half of 2025, 33 states reduced the performance gap between urban and rural users—while 17 saw the gap widen versus the second half of 2024.

MTN StarEdge Horizon: Private Layer 2 over Starlink

MTN StarEdge Horizon: Private Layer 2 over Starlink
MTN has launched StarEdge Horizon, a Layer 2 service over SpaceX’s Starlink designed to move enterprise traffic on a private path to MTN points of presence (PoPs), bypassing the public internet and reducing latency, jitter, and operational complexity. The service extends a private Layer 2 domain from remote sites over Starlink into MTN regional PoPs, where enterprises can centralize internet egress, security, and policy. QoS and segmentation protect prioritized traffic, while multi-link redundancy reduces site-level downtime risks. By bringing a private Layer 2 architecture to Starlink, MTN’s StarEdge Horizon turns LEO from best-effort internet into a controllable enterprise transport.

India Telecom Tariffs & 5G: Data Still Cost-Effective

Indian Telecom Operators Raise Tariffs After Three Years
India has ceded the lowest-tariff crown to Bangladesh and Egypt, yet it still leads on value through generous allowances and low data unit costs. Indian base plans commonly include unlimited voice, whereas Bangladesh and Egypt restrict voice to roughly 100 and 70 minutes respectively at entry level. On data, incremental purchase economics are unusually attractive: an extra Rs 100 typically buys around 26 GB, or about Rs 4 per GB, keeping India among the most affordable data markets globally. Even after adjusting for purchasing power parity, India remains at the affordable end of global tariff rankings.

Vodafone Germany cuts fibre broadband prices to speed DSL migration

Vodafone Germany cuts fibre broadband prices to speed DSL migration
Germany’s migration from copper to fibre is entering a price-led phase, and Vodafone is sharpening fibre offers to pull DSL users across the line. Germany has the fibre footprint but not the take-up: many households still cling to DSL and VDSL even where FTTH is available, leaving operators running two networks and straining economics. The emphasis is on choice, transparency and avoiding dual-running costs—nudging, not forcing, customers to move. Price becomes the immediate lever to move hesitant households and SMEs off copper, especially in multi-dwelling units where permissions, in-building wiring and installation coordination add friction.
