### [Starlink Is Critical in Support of Ukraine, and It Will Continue](https://circleid.com/posts/starlink-is-critical-in-support-of-ukraine-and-it-will-continue)
Mar 12, 2025 11:02 AM PDT
At 4:04 am on February 26 Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, requested Starlink service from Elon Musk, and at 2:45 pm on the 26th, Elon Musk tweeted "Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route." On February 28 at 12:29 pm, Fedorov posted a photo of a truckload of terminals. (Kyiv is 10 hours ahead of California) and an engineer, Oleg Kutkov, posted the first tweet from Ukraine.

### [Bad News From the 2025 Munich Security Conference: Cyberspace Gets Weaponized](https://circleid.com/posts/bad-news-from-the-2025-munich-security-conference-cyberspace-gets-weaponized)
Mar 10, 2025 1:18 PM PDT
There was one unpleasant message from the 2025 Munich Security Conference (MSC), which will have probably far reaching consequences for the governance of the digital space: Cyberspace will be governed by the rules of geo-political conflicts. And it is a battlefield in the 21st century wars. Both in the "Bayerischer Hof" and in the "IHK Munich", where the 11th edition of the Munich Cybersecurity Conference (MCSC) took place, controversial debates circled around the question of how civilian and military use of digital services will interplay in the years to come.

### [Cyber Resilience Resources Restructuring](https://circleid.com/posts/cyber-resilience-resources-restructuring)
Mar 08, 2025 9:45 AM PST
Information and Communications (ICT) infrastructures rely on many globally shared critical resilience information resources for diverse essential functions such as identifiers, routing, and cyber security. However, this ICT ecosystem has rapidly become significantly less stable and collaborative with dramatically diminished respect for legal norms and values because of the new USA national Administration. The instability includes the vicarious, wholesale removal of essential public safety and scientific databases, as well as global collaboration with multiple global UN public safety bodies. One result is the scaling of Digital Sovereignty initiatives. [more](https://circleid.com/posts/cyber-resilience-resources-restructuring)

### [The 2024 IPv4 Market in North America](https://circleid.com/posts/the-2024-ipv4-market-in-north-america)
Mar 07, 2025 8:00 AM PST
Between 2021 and 2023, the IPv4 market was a roller coaster ride - prices shot up in 2021, peaked in 2022, and plummeted in 2023. Those who expected a recovery in 2024 were sadly disappointed. Prices for IP addresses continued to decline, leveling out during the second half of the year. And yet, market activity remained remarkably unaffected - a sign, perhaps, that the market is settling into a new normal. [more](https://circleid.com/posts/the-2024-ipv4-market-in-north-america)

Mar 05, 2025 9:00 AM PST
As counterfeit networks grow more elusive, AI-driven clustering could revolutionize brand protection. By linking disparate findings, identifying serial infringers, and enabling bulk enforcement, AI offers a smarter approach to monitoring and takedown efforts. Yet, challenges remain - from data reliability to analyzing complex content. Companies that master AI-driven clustering may gain a significant advantage in the fight against brand abuse.

At a time when disinformation is proliferating and the rule of law, democracy, and human rights, together with long-standing relationships, are being cast aside, digital sovereignty is scaling in importance as a key defensive measure among many nations.

Feb 11, 2025 7:53 AM PST
Existing laws can address AI challenges without new regulations. Legal frameworks have adapted to past technologies, and AI should be no exception. The real issue lies in outdated legal immunities, like Section 230, shielding tech companies from AI-driven harms. Accountability should focus on those who create and benefit from AI, not AI itself.

The European country code top-level domain (ccTLD) market is at a crossroads, facing a confluence of challenges that could reshape its trajectory in the coming years. From slowing growth and rising renewal prices to shifting user behaviour driven by AI, the market is undergoing profound changes. These trends suggest a potential decline in domain volumes and a shift in how domains are valued and used.

The Kenya Network Information Center (KeNIC) announced a price increase for .KE domains, effective February 3, 2025. This comes at a time when the total number of .KE domain registrations has remained stagnant at around 100,000 for several years, despite previous efforts to spur growth through price reductions. This blog explores the implications of the price adjustment, analyzes the competition faced by .KE domains, and evaluates the challenges and opportunities for KeNIC in a competitive domain market.

Strand Consult published an article on its website that makes numerous predictions for broadband and related industries in 2025 and compares them to the company's 2024 predictions. It's fascinating and well worth reading. There is one prediction in particular that got me thinking. In its 2024 predictions, Strand Consult compared Elon Musk's Starlink to Jeff Bezos' Kuiper and said that Bezos had opened a burger bar while Musk runs an interstellar McDonald's. The 2025 observation agrees with that assessment. [more](https://circleid.com/posts/starlink-vs-kuiper-the-satellite-broadband-race-for-space-and-subscribers)
