HPE AI at Ryder Cup: Blended Connectivity & AIOps

HPE AI at Ryder Cup: Blended Connectivity & AIOps

The Bethpage Black Ryder Cup turned a 1,500‑acre golf course into a pop-up smart city, giving HPE a high-stakes stage to showcase end-to-end AI, networking, and edge operations at scale. Golf is a network planner’s stress test: fans are constantly moving, crowd density swings hole-to-hole, and the venue is built from scratch for a few intense days. More than 250,000 spectators demanded seamless connectivity, broadcast-grade reliability, and instant digital services. This environment forced an enterprise-grade blueprint - fast deployment, elastic capacity, airtight security, and automated operations, mirroring the requirements of modern campuses, arenas, and industrial sites.

OpenAI agentic AI shopping challenges Google and Amazon

OpenAI agentic AI shopping challenges Google and Amazon
ChatGPT users in the U.S. can now buy from Etsy sellers without leaving the conversation, with more than a million Shopify merchants “coming soon.” The feature, called Instant Checkout, is available to logged-in Free, Plus, and Pro users. It supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe, and credit cards. The flow is simple: ask for ideas, get curated products with images, prices, and reviews, tap Buy, confirm shipping and payment, and the merchant fulfills the order using its existing systems. Brands like Glossier, Skims, Spanx, and Vuori are expected to be part of the broader Shopify rollout.

South Korea Sovereign AI Strategy

South Korea Sovereign AI Strategy
South Korea is funding a national AI stack to reduce dependence on foreign models, protect data, and tune AI to its language and industries. The government has committed ₩530 billion (about $390 million) to five companies building large-scale foundation models: LG AI Research, SK Telecom, Naver Cloud, NC AI, and Upstage. Progress will be reviewed every six months, with underperformers cut and resources concentrated on the strongest until two leaders remain. The policy goal is clear: build world-class, Korean-first AI capability that supports national security, economic competitiveness, and data sovereignty. For telecoms and enterprise IT, this is a shift from “consume global models” to “operate domestic AI platforms” integrated with local data, compliance, and services.

India Joins Telecom Equipment Manufacturing Elite with Indigenous 4G

India Joins Telecom Equipment Manufacturing Elite with Indigenous 4G
India’s nationwide launch of BSNL’s “Swadeshi” 4G stack moves the country from a services-first model to domestic production of core telecom equipment at national scale. India formally launched an indigenous 4G stack for state-run BSNL, alongside more than 97,500 towers announced from Jharsuguda, Odisha. Officials highlighted early reach metrics, noting that roughly 92,000 sites are active and connecting an estimated 22 million users. Telecom equipment sovereignty has become a board-level issue as operators de-risk supply chains, comply with trusted source mandates, and balance costs amid rising traffic and spectrum refarming needs.

Moda Center 5G DAS Upgrade by American Tower

Moda Center 5G DAS Upgrade by American Tower
Large arenas now live or die on mobile performance: digital ticketing, cashless concessions, in-seat ordering, real-time replays, and social sharing all hinge on dense, resilient RF. With nearly 20,000 seats and a heavy calendar of sports and concerts, the Moda Center joins a cohort of tier-one venues investing in 5G as core infrastructure rather than a nice-to-have. American Tower’s role as a neutral host is noteworthy; it positions the venue to support multiple operators on a shared platform, spreading cost, accelerating carrier onboarding, and improving consistency across the “Rose Quarter,” including the adjacent Veterans’ Memorial Coliseum.

Optus Triple Zero failure hits 4,500 in Dapto

Optus Triple Zero failure hits 4,500 in Dapto
A second emergency call disruption in as many weeks has escalated questions about Optus’ operational controls and the resilience of Australia’s emergency communications ecosystem. Optus reported that a fault tied to a mobile tower in Dapto, Wollongong, left around 4,500 users affected between 3:00 a.m. and 12:20 p.m. on Sunday, with nine Triple Zero attempts failing during that window. While the scope was geographically contained, the event compounds a pattern that now includes multiple emergency call failures across two weeks. Repeated emergency call failures undermine public trust and expose systemic weaknesses in how operators design, test, and govern safety-critical services.

Why 95% of GenAI Pilots Fail to Scale Across Industries, Including Telecom

Is AI Underperforming in Telecom? Challenges, Use Cases & the Road Ahead
AI is everywhere in telecom, yet most pilots never make it into production because the industry’s data, tooling, and operating models are not ready for scaled automation. Recent industry research suggests that about 95% of AI pilots in telecom fail to scale beyond proofs of concept. Leaders are moving from pilots to platforms by embedding AI in the systems that run the business and anchoring every initiative to measurable outcomes. Telecom AI will not scale through pilots alone; it scales when embedded in the systems that run revenue, experience, and networks.

Underground AI Data Centers: Bunkers, Mines, Mountains

Underground AI Data Centers: Bunkers, Mines, Mountains
Two narratives are converging: Silicon Valley’s rush to add gigawatts of AI capacity and a quiet revival of bunkers, mines, and mountains as ultra-resilient data hubs. Recent headlines point to unprecedented AI infrastructure spending tied to OpenAI. The draw is physical security, thermal stability, data sovereignty, and a narrative of longevity in an era where outages and cyber‑physical risks are rising. Geopolitics, regulation, and escalating outage impact are reshaping site selection and architectural choices. The AI build‑out collides with grid interconnection queues, water scarcity, and rising scrutiny of carbon and noise. Set hard thresholds on PUE and WUE; require real‑time telemetry and third‑party assurance.

Zayo and Equinix Launch an AI Infrastructure Blueprint

Zayo and Equinix launch an AI Infrastructure Blueprint
AI now depends as much on the network and interconnection layer as it does on GPUs, and this blueprint turns that reality into a repeatable design. Training has concentrated in a few massive regions, while inference is exploding at the edge and in enterprise colocation sites, creating a scale challenge the industry hasn’t codified until now. Zayo and Equinix are proposing a common model that aligns high-capacity transport, neutral interconnection hubs, and specialized training and inference data centers. The aim is to shorten time to market for AI services by providing reference designs that reduce trial-and-error across L1–L3, interconnection, and traffic engineering.

Malaysia telcos federate GSMA Open Gateway Number Verification API

Malaysia telcos federate GSMA Open Gateway Number Verification API
Malaysia’s five mobile operators will federate a GSMA Open Gateway API to give banks and online retailers a consistent, cross-network tool to fight account takeovers and digital identity theft. CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile, Telekom Malaysia, and YTL Communications plan to provide federated access to the GSMA Open Gateway Number Verification API, based on the CAMARA standard. The API verifies a user’s mobile number against real-time network attributes, offering a more secure, low-friction alternative to SMS one-time passwords. Network-anchored verification provides silent, possession-based authentication that reduces user friction and closes common OTP exploits. Developers can integrate once and reach all participating Malaysian networks while each operator retains control of data, policy, and monetization.

Cable Industry Economic Impact 2024: $568.7B and 1.3M Jobs

Cable Industry Economic Impact 2024: 8.7B and 1.3M Jobs
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.

Databricks Integrates OpenAI GPT-5 in $100M AI Bet

Databricks Integrates OpenAI GPT-5 in 0M AI Bet
Databricks is adding OpenAI’s newest foundation models to its catalog for use via SQL or API, alongside previously introduced open-weight options gpt-oss 20B and 120B. Customers can now select, benchmark, and fine-tune OpenAI models directly where governed enterprise data already lives. The move raises the stakes in the race to make generative AI a first-class, governed workload inside data platforms rather than an external service tethered by integration and compliance gaps. For telecom and enterprise IT, it reduces friction for AI agents that must safely traverse customer, network, and operational data domains.
