Networking & Telecom

Networking & Telecom follows the cable: fibre roll-out and connection rates, mobile from 5G through the first 6G groundwork, satellite internet, subsea cable projects, and the fabrics inside data centres that carry traffic between servers. Spectrum awards, regulatory decisions and operators' capital plans come with the territory.

This category is younger than the others, so the list below is shorter — it grows with each new report. When a build-out target is quoted, we watch whether it counts cable laid or connections actually switched on; the gap between the two is often measured in years. Attacks on network infrastructure are filed under IT Security.
