Nokia has introduced a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) digital twin and AI-powered applications inside its Altiplano platform to give operators a unified view of active and passive assets and to improve reliability with faster, first-time fixes. The core launch centers on creating a digital twin of the FTTH network that stitches together live data from active elements (OLT/ONT, IP edge, customer premises equipment) with outside-plant passive infrastructure (ducts, cables, splitters) maintained in inventory and geospatial systems. Together, these tools target the highest-impact operational pain points: early anomaly detection, automated topology audits, faster root cause analysis, and improved first-time fix rates.

In 2024, the U.S. cable sector generated $568.7 billion in total economic output and supported 1.3 million jobs across the country. This footprint spans broadband networks, video programming, construction, manufacturing, and a broad vendor ecosystem. It underscores why cable remains a central pillar of America’s connectivity and media economy even as consumption shifts to IP and streaming. Cable broadband providers—led by Comcast, Charter Communications (Spectrum), Cox, Altice USA (Optimum), Mediacom, Cable One (Sparklight), and WOW!—accounted for $366 billion in total economic impact and nearly 888,000 jobs.

OpenAI and NVIDIA unveiled a multi‑year plan to deploy 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems, marking one of the largest single commitments to AI compute to date. The partners outlined an ambition to stand up AI “factories” totaling roughly 10GW of power, equating to several million GPUs across multiple sites and phases as capacity and supply chains mature. NVIDIA plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, with tranches released as milestones are met; the first $10 billion aligns to completion of the initial 1GW. The first waves will use NVIDIA’s next‑generation Vera Rubin systems beginning in the second half of 2026.

Fresh off its merger, VodafoneThree has locked in eight-year vendor deals with Ericsson and Nokia to underpin a £11 billion UK network build that is front-loaded for rapid 5G Standalone coverage gains. VodafoneThree selected Ericsson and Nokia as primary technology partners for one of the largest privately funded mobile infrastructure programs in Europe, with contracts collectively valued at over £2 billion. In year one, close to three quarters of the population are targeted for access to its fastest 5G services, rising to about 90% population coverage on 5G Standalone by year three and reaching roughly 99.95% by 2034 under a regulated, fully funded build plan.

Argentina’s regulator ENACOM has created a new licensing framework and reserved spectrum to let enterprises run stand-alone private mobile networks across critical industries. ENACOM has designated the 2300–2400 MHz band for Private Wireless Broadband Systems, a category designed for on-premise, non-public LTE/5G networks serving operational technology and enterprise applications rather than consumer subscribers. The framework supports high-throughput, low-latency, and massive IoT use cases, enabling enhanced video, automation, and machine communications across industrial campuses and field operations; 2.3 GHz maps to widely supported 3GPP Band 40 (LTE TDD) and NR n40, giving enterprises access to a mature device and radio ecosystem.

African AI Compute Is Moving Local. Telecom operators and digital infrastructure players are racing to stand up AI-grade capacity on the continent as demand, latency, and data-sovereignty pressures converge. MTN Group is negotiating with US and European partners to co-invest in AI-ready facilities and offer capacity to enterprises across multiple African markets. Cassava Technologies is accelerating its sovereign cloud strategy with five AI-focused facilities slated across key African markets in the next 12 months. Earlier this year, Cassava partnered with Nvidia to launch an AI data centre in South Africa powered by the chipmaker’s GPUs, establishing a reference for accelerated infrastructure on the continent.

Tens of billions in new US tech commitments are set to reshape the UK’s data center footprint, power needs, and network design over the next four years. Microsoft plans to deploy $30 billion into UK AI infrastructure, its largest commitment in the country, split between new-build capacity and financing via partners such as Nscale. Alphabet added roughly £5 billion for AI research and infrastructure over two years and opened a new data center campus in Hertfordshire. These moves sit under a broader US-UK “Tech Prosperity Deal” announced during a state visit, spanning AI, quantum, and nuclear cooperation. The overall vector is clear: more compute, closer to UK users, on a faster timeline.

SpaceX’s $17 billion purchase of EchoStar spectrum signals a deliberate push to blend satellite and mobile connectivity at consumer scale. SpaceX is acquiring EchoStar’s AWS-4 and H-Block licenses, adding roughly 1.9–2.0 GHz spectrum into its portfolio for direct-to-device (D2D) service in the U.S. Owning licensed spectrum lets SpaceX widen capabilities beyond roaming-style add-ons, potentially toward a branded service that spans home broadband and handset connectivity. A two-year window for first compatible handsets is a realistic baseline. Analysts broadly expect Starlink to expand via partnerships: wholesale arrangements to MNOs for satellite fallback, and potentially an MVNO to bring a Starlink-branded phone plan to market.
