Na verskeie klagtes van kliënte het Telecom Namibia bevestig dat sommige iWay-e-posdienste onderbroke toegang en stadige werkverrigting ondervind. Uitvoerende hoof dr. Stanley Shanapinda het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesê dat die probleem veroorsaak is deur onlangse kragverwante voorvalle. Hy sê daar is geen presiese tydsraamwerk vir wanneer die dienste ten volle herstel sal wees nie, maar tegniese spanne werk daaraan om die platform te stabiliseer.
Our Head of Corporate Credit Research Andrew Sheets explains why the recent revival of M&A activity has room to accelerate.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley. Today – a discussion of merger and acquisition activity or M&A. Last year, we had a view that this activity would pick up significantly. We think we're seeing that increase now. It has further to go. It's Wednesday, October 29th at 2pm in London. We have been firm believers at Morgan Stanley in a significant multi-year uplift in global merger and acquisition activity or M&A. That conviction remains. The incentives for this type of action are strong in our view; activity still lags what fundamentals would suggest, and supportive regulatory shifts are real. M&A has now returned, and importantly, we think there's much further to go. Indeed, M&A is very closely linked to corporate confidence, and we think investors need to consider the possibility that we'll see an even bigger surge in this confidence – or a boom. First, policy uncertainty is declining as U.S. tax legislation has now passed, and tariff rates get finalized. It's the relative direction of this uncertainty that we think matters most for corporate confidence. Second, interest rates are declining with the Fed, European Central Bank, and Bank of England all set to cut rates further over the next 12 months. Third, bank capital requirements may decline in the view of Morgan Stanley analysts, which would unlock more lending for these types of transactions. Fourth, and very importantly, the regulatory backdrop is becoming more accommodative in both the U.S. and in Europe. Indeed, we think that companies may think that this is going to be the most permissive regulatory window for transactions that they might get for some time. Fifth, private equity, which is a big driver of M&A activity, is sitting on over $4 trillion of dry powder in our view – at a time when credit markets look very wide open for financing their transactions. And finally, we're seeing a surge in capital expenditure on Morgan Stanley estimates, which we see as a sign of rising corporate confidence, and importantly an urgency to act – with corporates far less content to simply sit back and repurchase their stock. All of these favorable conditions together argue for activity to push even higher. We forecast global M&A volumes to increase by 32 percent this year, an additional 20 percent next year, and reach $7.8 trillion in volume in 2027. This is a global story with M&A rising across regions, especially in Japan. It has cross-asset implications with M&A already being one of the biggest drivers of bond outperformance within the U.S. high-yield market. And this is also a story where we see a lot of value in bringing together macro and micro perspectives. While we think the top-down conditions look favorable for all the reasons I just mentioned, we also see a very encouraging picture bottom up. We polled a large number of Morgan Stanley sector analyst teams and asked them about M&A conditions in their sector. A large majority of them see more activity. So, where could these more specific implications lie? Well, as you heard on yesterday's episode, Healthcare and Biotech may see an uptick in activity. In the U.S., we also think that Banking and Media stand out. In Europe, Business Services, Metals and Mining, and Telecom seem most ripe for more M&A. Aerospace and Defense is an interesting sector that may see more M&A within multiple regions, including the U.S. and Europe, as companies look for scale. And with smaller companies trading at a valuation discount to their larger peers across the world, Morgan Stanley analysts generally see the strongest case for activity in larger companies acquiring these smaller ones. Thank you as always for your time. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen, and also tell a friend or colleague about us today.

Au Tchad, cela fait un an que la province du Lac est privée de connexion internet. Décidée le 28 octobre 2024 au moment de l'opération militaire « Haskanite » déclenchée en réponse à une attaque meurtrière de Boko Haram sur une position de l'armée, la coupure visait à entraver les communications du groupe terroriste. Aujourd'hui, elle continue de grever l'économie de la zone, entravant l'activité des commerçants et accentuant chez les habitants le sentiment d'être « coupés du monde ». De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Baga Sola, Au marché de Baga Sola, Mahamat Abakar Aguidi, 27 ans, importe du matériel informatique en provenance du Nigeria. Mais depuis la coupure internet, impossible de contacter directement ses fournisseurs sur WhatsApp par exemple. « Actuellement, quand tu veux envoyer, il faut envoyer à N'Djamena. Les gens vont prendre les taxes, explique-t-il. Ça coûte plus cher. Quand tu appelles au Nigeria, ça peut prendre 5 000 à 10 000 FCFA. Nous avons besoin urgemment de la connexion parce que toutes nos affaires sont déjà ralenties. On est même en train de perdre tous nos chiffres d'affaires. » La déconnexion de la province affecte aussi les services et le travail des humanitaires, principaux pourvoyeurs d'emplois. Certains disposent d'une connexion par satellite que Lol Tahir, un jeune chômeur, tente parfois d'utiliser pour chercher du travail. « On va plaider au niveau des organisations internationales ici. Parfois, on trouve [la connexion]. Mais, si on se connecte même plus de dix minutes, ils changent le mot de passe et, directement, ils coupent [la connexion] », témoigne ce jeune. Selon lui, la coupure de la connexion Internet contribue au chômage des jeunes à Baga Sola. À écouter aussiSur les rives du lac Tchad, une guerre sans fin contre Boko Haram et la montée des eaux « Le sentiment, c'est d'être coupé du monde » Et lorsque Lol Tahir parvient enfin à envoyer sa candidature, l'offre d'emploi est souvent déjà expirée. La frustration s'accumule donc, au sein d'une jeunesse privée de réseaux sociaux et d'accès à l'information, nous dit Ahmat Ali Mouta, 28 ans. « Le sentiment, c'est d'être coupé du monde, justement, et c'est d'être aussi empêché de saisir certaines opportunités. Il y a des gens, ils suivent leur cours en ligne et du coup, il n'y a pas la connexion. Qu'est-ce qu'il faut faire ? », interroge-t-il. Difficile également de faire valoir son mécontentement. « On ne peut pas protester puisqu'il y a certaines choses que les gens craignent. Mais ça n'empêche. Moi, j'ai cette opportunité de me prononcer auprès de votre micro. Donc, je dis haut et fort [qu'il faut que] le gouvernement essaie de lever ces mesures pour nous permettre vraiment de saisir certaines opportunités qui se présentent en ligne, en fait », plaide le jeune homme. Interrogé fin juin sur la question, le ministre des Télécoms, Michel Boukar affirmait qu'une solution serait trouvée très bientôt.

The European Commission's upcoming Digital Networks Act (DNA) is set to reshape the future of connectivity in Europe. By overhauling the rules that govern telecom operators, cloud services, and content providers, the DNA raises fundamental questions about fairness, competition, innovation, and the very architecture of our open internet.Join this hybrid event to examine the risks and opportunities, and jointly debate what kind of DNA will truly serve Europeans in the years ahead.Panel 1 – An Uneven Playing Field for Connectivity: Myth or Reality?Central question: Should rules originally designed to regulate telecom operators be extended to the wider tech sector?In its white paper on how to master Europe's digital infrastructure needs and recent DNA call for evidence, the European Commission asserts there is increasing convergence between telecoms and the tech sector (particularly cloud and content providers). Telecom providers, for their part, build on this assumption to advance claims that the regulatory framework therefore should converge as well.This panel will unpack the structural and functional differences between the two sectors, while also examining the collaborative dynamics that underpin their relationships. We will walk through the patchwork of existing EU frameworks to answer one question: is extending the EECC to digital actors necessary, fair, or even workable?Panel 2 – How Does the DNA Risk Threatening the Open Internet?Central question: What concrete risks does the Digital Networks Act pose to the open internet?This panel will examine the reality of collaboration between telecoms and tech, and assess dangerous proposals that keep resurfacing – in the DNA call for evidence and earlier public consultations, for example.A central theme will be how any form of dispute resolution for IP interconnection would evolve into network fees – and how such measures would fundamentally reshape the way the internet functions today. Experts with first-hand experience will share their insights, underscoring the real-world stakes for competition, innovation, and end users.
AI is now a standing item at most strategic tables—shapinghow leaders think about markets, talent, and the future of work. But while investment and experimentation are rising fast, most organizations are still in the early chapters of integration. Beneath the strategy, there's a quieter conversation about fear, trust, and what remains uniquely human. In this episode, we sit down with Peter Mulford, Chief AI Officer at BTS, to debate whether AI can ever truly replace emotional intelligence. Together, we explore how we currently think about AI, the edges of what it can do, and what remains uniquely human (for now). Guest Bio: Peter Mulford is the Chief AI Officer and the Global head of the Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Practice (AI&I) for BTS Inc. In this role he helps clients get real impact by working with teams and organizations to transform their business using innovation, future back thinking, Artificial Intelligence, and digital technology. He has over 30 years of experience working with clients around the world in different industries, including Sony Interactive Entertainment, Warner Media, Microsoft, AT&T, Saudi Telecom, Lenovo, Samsung, Telkom South Africa, Merck, Coca-Cola, Toyota, Macys, and others. A sought-out keynote speaker, he has facilitated keynotes at technology and innovation conferences, company offsites, and sales conferences, as well as a private 2-day event with the late Pope Francis and 20 media executives and artists at the Vatican City. Peter joined BTS in 1998 and has worked in its offices in San Francisco, Johannesburg, Tokyo, London and New York. From 2005-2010, he was the Managing Director of BTS's East Coast region, leading the largest global office for BTS through a period of market turbulence and growth during which it more than tripled in size. Prior to BTS he worked for a start-up firm in Tokyo, Japan. He has extensive experience in Retail, Consumer Goods, Electronics and Telecom, among many other industries. Peter holds an MBA in Finance from Columbia Business School, and a Master's in international Affairs with a focus on Asia Pacific Studies from Columbia University. He speaks Japanese.

As the U.S. government shutdown delays key economic data, the Equifax Advisors team steps in with deeper insights. Host Emmaline Aliff is joined by Jesse Hardin, Tom O'Neill, and Maria Urtubey to unpack the indicators that matter most when visibility is limited—and to debut the Market Pulse Index, a new holistic measure capturing the intersection of credit, income, assets, and financial behavior across populations.Economist Justin Begley of Moody's Analytics delivers our macroeconomic update.In this episode: What is the Market Pulse Index?The Market Pulse Index is a new measure developed by Equifax Advisors that combines multiple financial dimensions—credit performance, income, debt, assets, and affluence—into one holistic view of consumer and market health. It helps lenders and policymakers understand economic conditions beyond single metrics like CPI or GDP.Why is the Market Pulse Index important right now?With the U.S. government shutdown delaying key data releases, traditional indicators such as the jobs report and GDP updates are unavailable. The Market Pulse Index fills this gap by integrating real-time, multi-source data to reveal trends in affordability, financial durability, and consumer well-being.How does the Market Pulse Index differ from other metrics like CPI or GDP?Unlike single-dimension indicators, the Market Pulse Index combines hard data (credit, income, assets) and soft data (consumer sentiment) to provide a multi-layered view of economic conditions. It can reveal disparities across populations, regions, and credit tiers—helping decision-makers identify who's thriving and who's struggling.What is the K-shaped economy and how does it relate?The K-shaped economy describes uneven recovery patterns—where high-income consumers see wealth gains while lower-income groups face rising debt and affordability challenges. The Market Pulse Index captures these differences, offering a clearer picture of financial resilience across demographic groups.How can lenders and businesses use the Market Pulse Index?Organizations can use the Market Pulse Index to:Track aggregate consumer health across income, geography, and age groupsIdentify emerging credit risks and opportunitiesAdjust lending and pricing strategies based on holistic insightsImprove risk management and marketing segmentationIf you have questions or suggestions for future podcasts, please reach out to riskadvisors@equifax.com.

Episode #175: What happens when your tech setup is more of a tangled mess than a streamlined system? That's where Scott Woods and Alec Modica come in, transforming chaos into organization with their expertise in Managed Service Providers (MSPs). I recount my own tech challenges and how Scott's family-run business came to the rescue, setting up my studio's infrastructure and teaching me the importance of having the right tech partner. We explore the vital role MSPs play for businesses that lack the resources for an in-house IT department, sharing personal stories and insights into the dynamic MSP industry. Navigating the complex world of IT doesn't have to feel overwhelming, especially when you have a trusted MSP by your side. We delve into the shift from relying on a single IT person to embracing a comprehensive support system that not only addresses immediate needs but anticipates future challenges. Scott and Alec discuss the benefits of reducing key man risk, integrating IT services under one umbrella, and providing a personalized, white-glove experience that keeps businesses running smoothly. We also touch on the critical aspect of trust between a business and its MSP, emphasizing how this relationship can be as pivotal as the one with a personal accountant. But it's not all about tech talk! We sprinkle in stories of business growth and personal milestones, highlighting the vibrant culture within MSP companies and the excitement of launching the Business Technology Podcast. From themed photo shoots to upcoming family additions, Scott, Alec, and I share how personal and professional worlds intersect, reinforcing the idea that business is as much about relationships as it is about services. Whether you're a business owner seeking seamless IT solutions or simply curious about the human side of tech support, this episode offers a unique perspective on building successful partnerships in today's digital landscape.

Die hoërhof het ten gunste van die Kommunikasie-reguleringsowerheid van Namibië, Cran, beslis in 'n saak wat verband hou met 'n dekade-oue veselhuurooreenkoms tussen MTC, Telecom Namibia en NamPower. Die kern van die dispuut was 'n omstrede klousule wat MTC en Telecom eksklusiewe, outomatiese toegang tot NamPower se donkerveselnetwerk gegee het. Cran het aangevoer dat die klousule infrastruktuurdelingsregulasies oortree het wat ontwerp is om oopheid te bevorder en markoorheersing te voorkom. Die hof het saamgestem, die klousule ongeldig verklaar en bevestig dat die ooreenkoms in Mei 2022 geëindig het. Cran-woordvoerder Mufaro Nesongano het meer.
“We are telecom people—and we are here to help service providers grow,” says Melissa Frenyea, VP of Customer Success at CommSoft. At Navigate 25, Frenyea and Bill Griffin, Business Development Officer at CommSoft, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss how the company's decades of experience in billing and operations support systems (BSS/OSS) is helping providers—especially rural carriers—succeed in a rapidly evolving communications landscape. CommSoft, originally founded as Communication Software Consultants, delivers billing, provisioning, service order, and trouble-ticketing systems, as well as staff augmentation and full billing department services. Beyond software, the company leverages hundreds of years of combined telecom expertise to help providers run their businesses more efficiently and strategically. Griffin emphasized that the industry is shifting from competition to collaboration: “A bedfellow you would have considered a competitor five years ago is now a partner. Partnerships are paramount in 2025 to give carriers the best solutions in a very different landscape.” Frenyea added that integration is key: “We connect customer data, networks, and services so providers can monetize new opportunities—from AI-powered services to advanced analytics.” As Alianza and Metaswitch unite to expand opportunities for service providers, CommSoft sees its mission clearly: empowering providers to build the future while ensuring reliable, high-quality communications for every community.

General Assembly meeting. The network was uncovered as part of a broader Secret Service investigation into telecommunications threats targeting senior government officials, according to investigators.
This is the evening All Local update for September 23, 2025.

The U.S. Secret Service dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct multiple telecommunications-related threats directed towards senior U.S. government officials, which represented an imminent threat to the agency's protective operations. This protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites. In addition to carrying out anonymous telephonic threats, these devices could be used to conduct a wide range of telecommunications attacks. This includes disabling cell phone towers, enabling denial of services attacks and facilitating anonymous, encrypted communication between potential threat actors and criminal enterprises. While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement.Ransomware!• EU cyber agency says airport software held to ransom by criminals • A Cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover Is Causing a Supply Chain Disaster • Rising cyberattacks on K-12 schools prompt concern as Uvalde CISD grapples with ransomwareCyber threat information law hurtles toward expiration, with poor prospects for renewal• Rand Paul's last-minute demands push key cybersecurity law to the brink• Peters Urges Senate to Quickly Extend Critical Cybersecurity Protections That Expire on October 1st• Health-ISAC CSO: A Looming Deadline: The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015• RER and Coalition Urges TRIA Reauthorization• Commentary: Shrinking cyber budgets and rising threats: Why public-private partnerships are now mission-criticalUS threats and violence• MN man threatened people via email as retaliation for Charlie Kirk's death: Charges• NH Man Arrested for Allegedly Plotting to Kill Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte With Pipe Bombs• NCTC Supports U.S. Law Enforcement, First Responders by Sharing Intel Product Aimed at Deterring Attacks by Al-Qa'ida• ISIS calls for slaughter of Christians and Jews in UK attacks – 'shoot, stab, and ram' Quick Hits:• FBI PSA: Threat Actors Spoofing the FBI IC3 Website for Possible Malicious Activity• NHC issuing advisories for the Atlantic on Hurricane Gabrielle• UK NPSA: Vehicle Security Barriers at Event Venues • TikTok: Statement from ByteDanceo Deal to Keep TikTok in U.S. Is Near.

“Compliance missteps can shut a company down, but the right legal partner can also unlock growth.” – Jonathan Marashlian, Managing Partner, The CommLaw Group At Navigate 25, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with Jonathan Marashlian of Marashlian & Donahue, The CommLaw Group, to discuss the evolving communications ecosystem, regulatory risks, and why specialized legal guidance has never been more critical. Marashlian reflected on his firm's two decades advising communications providers, from the early days of VoIP through today's cloud-native era. He highlighted the impact of Alianza's merger with Metaswitch as a pivotal ecosystem development—one that positions providers to meet demand for both legacy and cloud services in a diverse, fast-evolving market. Key insights from the conversation: Execution matters: Acquisitions alone don't guarantee success; vision, agility, and customer understanding are essential. The compliance burden: States such as California and Massachusetts are extending regulatory authority into VoIP, adding to already complex federal and tax compliance rules. Legal specialization is essential: Telecom law requires industry-specific expertise; general counsel may not anticipate emerging risks like robocall mitigation enforcement. Ecosystem thinking: The CommLaw Group, together with its companion Compliance Group, blends legal and consulting services—providing scalable options from fixed-fee compliance work to high-level legal strategy. Growth through guidance: Beyond avoiding penalties, effective legal partnerships help providers navigate expansion, M&A, and new market opportunities. As Marashlian stressed, the pace of technology far outstrips regulation. Providers that invest in experienced legal and compliance partnerships are better positioned not only to survive but to thrive. Learn more at The CommLaw Group.

Mariano Gontchar: From Evangelist to Facilitator—How To Lead A Successful Company Merger Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. During a complex merger between two telecom companies, Mariano faced the challenge of uniting team members with different cultures, practices, and tools. His initial approach of selling Agile theory instead of focusing on benefits failed because he forgot about the "why" of change. The breakthrough came when he shifted from being an Agile evangelist to becoming a facilitator who listened to managers' real challenges. By connecting people and letting the team present their own solutions to leadership, Mariano successfully created unity between the formerly divided groups. Self-reflection Question: Are you trying to sell your methodology or solve real problems, and what would happen if you focused on understanding challenges before proposing solutions?
