It's a reminder of how tech builds capacity beyond immediate needs, creating opportunities for future breakthroughs. What was once overbuilt is now a hidden resource for innovation. 💡

Banks think the end of the AI boom will be less dramatic than the dot-com bubble, FT is not convinced:
‘AI’s not a bubble but if it were, here’s how it might pop’ - https://on.ft.com/4pY6Gz5 via @FTAV

These dormant fibers, installed in anticipation of explosive internet growth, now offer a cost-effective way to expand connectivity. Cities pre-wired with dark fiber could soon become hubs for ultra-fast internet access. It's a fascinating example of how past investments shape our tech future! 💡

This phenomenon highlights the speculative nature of tech infrastructure—where big bets on future demand sometimes lead to overcapacity. But even in darkness, these fibers hold the key to lighting up new possibilities for global connectivity. 🌟

So, I was talking with my supervisor about how #Starlink is trying to divert money intended for #FiberOptic, and told her about the #KesslerEffect (which will probably be caused by old Starlink satellites).
"I guess that will knock us back to landlines," was her reply.
"All the more reason to have fiber in place!" I chimed in!
Grrrrr... #Starlink tries to block #Virginia’s plan to bring #FiberInternet to residents
#SpaceX wants more money, asks Trump admin to reject state's #broadband grant plan.
Jon Brodkin – Aug 14, 2025
"Starlink operator SpaceX is fighting Virginia's plan to deploy fiber Internet service to residents, claiming that federal grant money should be given to Starlink instead. SpaceX is already in line to win over $3 million in grant money in the state but is seeking $60 million.
"Starlink is poised to benefit from the Trump administration rewriting rules for the $42 billion #Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (#BEAD) grant program. While the Biden administration decided that states should prioritize #fiber in order to build more #FutureProof networks, the Trump administration ordered states to revise their plans with a 'tech-neutral approach' and lower the average cost of serving each location."
