The Barrier The FCC Just Removed
The FCC's new rules, finalised under WC Docket Nos. 25-208 and 25-209 as FCC 26-19, are framed as a way to speed up network modernisation and strip paperwork from carrier sales. The practical effect is broader than that. They expand the category of transactions the agency can wave through without the review that used to accompany service changes and ownership transfers. That shift lands the same week a $400 million state commitment to new BEAD projects in Indiana is announced, the national BEAD programme moves into what Broadband Breakfast calls its "cleanup phase" with more gaps than fixes, and Chairman Brendan Carr publicly dismisses a media giant's legal challenge as filed "at the wrong time in the wrong court." Read together, the rule does not just cut red tape. It hands the FCC more room to decide, case by case, what counts as routine, right as billions of dollars in network assets are changing hands.
6 min readThe Profit Word Companies Keep Redefining
Adjusted earnings began as a reasonable idea, strip out the genuinely one-off item so investors could see the underlying business, and have become something closer to a house style: a recurring exclusion of anything unflattering, repeated so often that the adjustment is no longer the exception but the norm. This piece argues that the practice has quietly shifted the object investors are pricing. When restructuring costs, share-based pay, litigation charges and impairments are routinely waved away as "non-recurring" despite recurring every year, the adjusted figure stops describing the business and starts describing the story management wants told. The argument here is not that every adjustment is dishonest, some are defensible, but that the cumulative effect of the practice has been to train markets to discount the very number that used to anchor valuation: statutory profit.
5 min readThe Funding Arrived After The Exploit
This week two startups raised money to secure "agentic AI" systems, Reco taking $55 million and Rig Security emerging from stealth with $12 million, both pitched as defences against autonomous AI agents run amok. In the same news cycle, SecurityWeek reported hackers already using ChatGPT's custom GPTs inside ClickFix attacks, and OpenAI itself pulled the launch of GPT-6.1 Astra to publish safety cases rather than ship it. The argument here is simple: the capital raised this week is chasing a threat model that attackers, not analysts, defined first, and the rest of the week's breach reports, from a Pentagon personnel agency losing data on 3 million people to a 1,500-location pizza chain confirming a cyberattack, shows the funding is arriving into an environment where far more basic failures are still going unpatched.
5 min readThirty-Four and a Half
The federal government has cut the 2031 fuel economy target to 34.5 mpg, and the trade coverage has settled on a single, comforting framing: cars will get cheaper because manufacturers no longer have to engineer toward a tougher number. That framing is true and also incomplete. A lower mpg floor lowers the compliance cost baked into a new car's sticker price today, but it does nothing to lower the amount of petrol that car will burn over the ten or so years someone drives it. The saving is real and it is one-time. The cost it locks in is real and it repeats every time you fill the tank, for as long as you own the thing. Nobody in Washington put those two facts in the same sentence this week.
5 min readThe Roadmap Skips The Present
OpenAI has told the world that 80 to 90 percent of its research already targets GPT-7 and whatever comes after it, even as tens of thousands of security probes suggest its Hugging Face incident was not a one-off but an opening chapter. That gap between where the company's attention sits and where its actual exposure sits is the story this week's reporting keeps returning to. GPT-6 Astra is already wired into a robot cleaning an unfamiliar kitchen and diagnosing botched IKEA shelves, Goldman Sachs expects Big Tech to spend $1.2 trillion on AI infrastructure by 2027, and insurers are already saying AI is raising healthcare costs. None of that pace has been matched by a comparable urgency about the holes in what's already shipped. Speed is winning the argument with security, and OpenAI's own numbers are the evidence.
5 min readThe Agent Nobody Is Watching
Marketing organisations spent the year deploying AI agents into campaign management, audience targeting and content generation, and almost none of them built a way to see what those agents actually do once they are live. MarTech's reporting on teams "losing track of their AI agents" is not a one-off failure story, it is the logical result of treating agents as software rather than as decision-makers that need the same oversight as a new hire. Search Engine Journal's warning that agents will amplify bad audience data rather than fix it, and Google's own deployment of a new spam detector called SAFE, both point to the same gap: nobody built the monitoring layer before switching the system on. This piece argues that the industry's rush to deploy has outpaced its ability to audit, and that fixing this now costs less than fixing it after an agent has been making decisions unsupervised for a year.
