If Day 1 at Mobile World Congress confirmed that space is being woven into the fabric of mobile networks, Day 2 showed something harder to headline but arguably more important: the ecosystem around that shift is broader, more layered, and accelerating faster than most public commentary acknowledges. This is no
Mobile World Congress 2026 kicked off this week, and walking the halls on the first day, it was clear that a pattern had quickly emerged. Satellite connectivity is no longer being marketed as a niche solution for remote villages or maritime users. It is being embedded into the core architecture
Thirty-seven years. That’s how long Ali Khamenei held the Islamic Republic together, through sanctions, proxy wars, nuclear brinkmanship, and wave after wave of popular uprising. He survived an assassination attempt that cost him the use of his right arm. He survived Saddam. He survived the Green Movement, the Mahsa
After months of research and development, I'm excited to announce that SwarmWatch is now live. This interactive tool tracks the explosive growth of mega-constellations and provides real-time visibility into one of the most significant transformations happening in space today. Why SwarmWatch Matters When I began researching mega-constellations for
Blue Origin just filed plans for a 5,408-satellite constellation. Not a consumer broadband play. Not a Starlink clone. Something different: an enterprise-grade, multi-orbit data backbone designed to move up to six terabits per second across the planet. They’re calling it TeraWave, and it tells us something important about

Software used to wait for you. You opened an application, clicked buttons, filled in forms, and told it exactly what to do. That era is ending. A new class of AI systems doesn't wait for instructions mid-task. It takes a goal, breaks it into steps, picks up tools,
On the morning of 28 January 1986, ice hung from the launch tower at Cape Canaveral. Engineers knew the temperature was unusually low, colder than anything the Space Shuttle programme had experienced before. They also knew that parts of the shuttle’s solid rocket boosters behaved unpredictably in the cold.
When the President of the United States says America “needs” Greenland for defence, he’s not making a real estate pitch. He’s signalling that Arctic access is now a strategic entitlement question, not a diplomatic one. A day after the Venezuela operation, Trump pivoted back to Greenland. Denmark’s
The United States just abducted a head of state, and the weapon that made it possible wasn’t a carrier group, it was a tariff schedule. Over the weekend, the Trump administration launched a military operation inside Venezuela, captured Nicolás Maduro, and transferred him to New York to face charges.
America’s 2025 National Security Strategy A British view from the alliance front line When the United States publishes a fresh National Security Strategy, Europeans tend to check the headlines, confirm that the transatlantic link still looks solid, and move on with their day.
