Africa has digital strategies in abundance, but weak institutions, inconsistent leadership, poor governance and limited execution keep ambitious policies from delivering trusted, interoperable public services and sustainable digital transformation across the continent in practice today. more
Orbiting data centers promise cleaner power, cheaper cooling and relief from terrestrial opposition, but formidable engineering, regulatory and orbital governance challenges may keep ambitious space-based computing grounded for years unless launch economics improve dramatically first. more
Quantum policy has shifted from warning about future threats to measuring institutional readiness, creating an urgent need for governance frameworks that let regulators, auditors and boards assess, compare and verify post-quantum migration before deadlines arrive. more
Africa's digital ambitions face threats beyond software and infrastructure. Lasting transformation depends on governance, trust, interoperability, political continuity, and user adoption, making socio-technical challenges as critical as the technologies themselves. more
Africa's digital future depends less on expanding Internet access than on shaping the rules that govern it. Stronger institutions, cybersecurity, and global influence will determine whether the continent becomes a digital leader or remains a dependent consumer. more
The 2026 new gTLD round is less a domain application than a high-stakes contest for digital territory. Contention, objections, opaque evaluations and information gaps can derail applicants long before launch, demanding rigorous strategic preparation. more
As governments, economies and essential services become ever more dependent on connectivity, the internet can no longer be viewed solely as a right. It must be treated as critical infrastructure, protected, regulated and made resilient against disruption. more
As quantum computing advances, the race to secure the internet is becoming urgent. Experts at EuroDIG 2026 warned that only coordinated, multistakeholder action can accelerate post-quantum cryptography deployment before existing encryption becomes dangerously obsolete. more
Community networks could become a crucial pillar of Africa's digital sovereignty, extending connectivity while giving underserved communities greater ownership, resilience, technical capacity, and influence over the infrastructure and services that increasingly shape economic opportunity. more
Cybercriminals are becoming a major force in the domain-name market, driving an estimated one-fifth of new gTLD registrations in 2025 and exposing how commercial incentives, weak enforcement, and scale continue to fuel online abuse. more
Canada's online pharmacy industry is urging a ban on unregulated peptide sales, warning that products marketed for weight loss, bodybuilding and other uses pose serious health risks, evade regulatory oversight, and are increasingly sold online without prescriptions. more
Africa's data sovereignty debate focuses too heavily on where information is stored. Real sovereignty depends on control of cloud platforms, encryption, identity systems, and critical digital infrastructure that determine resilience, autonomy, and strategic power. more
The internet is fragmenting across cables, routing systems and governance. Most network engineers, focused on regional operations, are missing how technical infrastructure and state power are reshaping a once interoperable network. more
Universal Acceptance Day 2026 marks progress toward a multilingual internet, as UNESCO and ICANN deepen cooperation. Yet unresolved implementation failures and weak registry stewardship still hinder truly inclusive digital access worldwide. more
Africa's digital boom is accelerating, but safeguards lag. Governments and firms deploy systems at speed, while weak enforcement and fragmented oversight leave economies exposed to mounting cyber risks. more
