Residential fiber is big right now, and yet it’s just getting started. With all the money backing FTTH buildouts right now, it’s hard to remember how many places there are that you would think have plenty of options but don’t. One such region is California’s Orange County, which is where Cityside Fiber has started rolling out deep fiber infrastructure. With us today to talk about Cityside’s plans, progress, and vision is Founder and CEO Rod Hanson. … [visit site to read more]
Telefonica Tech was unveiled during Telefonica’s 2019 restructuring
Telefonica is considering the sale of a stake in its technology unit Telefonica Tech, which provides the management of cloud operations on Microsoft Azure and AWS, as well as offering cybersecurity services and IoT solutions.
The entire Telefonica Group is valued at around €22 billion, with net debt of €31.4 billion. According to sources, the Telefonica Tech could be valued at around €2 billion if the deal goes ahead.
Although the talks are still ongoing, there is no guarantee that the company will give the divestment the green light, according to sources.
Last month, Saudi Arabia’s largest telecoms operator STC group acquired a 9.9% stake in Telefonica worth €2.1 billion, which allowed them to become the company’s largest shareholder. There has been indication at this stage as to whether STC have approved the possible sale of the tech unit.
Answers will presumably be presented by Telefonica CEO Jose Maria Alvarez-Pallete alongside a new three-year strategic plan set to be announced in November, with the company planning its first Capital Markets Day in over a decade.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said the defunct satellite “could pose orbital debris concerns”
This week, the FCC has issued DISH with a fine of $150,000 after the US television provider failed to de-orbit one of its retiring satellites correctly.
DISH launched its EchoStar-7 satellite back in 2002, leaving it sitting in geostationary orbit and using it to broadcast television services for over 20 years.
By 2012, DISH was already making plans for EchoStar-7’s retirement, agreeing with the FCC that it would propel the satellite an additional 300km away from the Earth, pushing it into what is known as a ‘graveyard orbit’. This is done to reduce space debris in the more congested operational orbits, thereby reducing the chance that the inoperable satellite would collide with operational spacecraft.
This process was expected to take place in 2022. However, when it came to performing the crucial manoeuvre, DISH reportedly discovered that EchoStar-7 did not have enough fuel to increase its orbit by the planned 300km, making it only 122km above its previous position.
This failure to dispose of their satellite as planned has led the FCC to issue its first ever fine for the creation of space debris.
“This marks a first in space debris enforcement by the Commission, which has stepped up its satellite policy efforts, including establishing the Space Bureau and implementing its Space Innovation Agenda. The settlement includes an admission of liability from the company and an agreement to adhere to a compliance plan and pay a penalty of $150,000,” said the FCC’s statement.
“As satellite operations become more prevalent and the space economy accelerates, we must be certain that operators comply with their commitments,” added Enforcement Bureau Chief Loyaan A. Egal. “This is a breakthrough settlement, making very clear the FCC has strong enforcement authority and capability to enforce its vitally important space debris rules.”
DISH accepted responsibility for the error.
As communication satellite constellations become increasingly common around the world, so too does the threat of orbital space debris. At its theoretical worst, the density of space pollution could lead to the Kessler syndrome, a scenario whereby collisions between orbital objects cause a cascade of further collisions, essentially making satellite activities impossible for many years.
As a result, the FCC has gradually been increasing regulation what happens to satellites after their decommissioning, such as proposing that satellites are deorbited no later than five years after their retirement, down from the 25 years previously required by NASA.

Talks between the two firms are set continue despite passing a recent deadline, with TPG noting the transaction involves “considerable complexity”
Australia’s TPG Telecom has announced that the due diligence period given to Vocus Group to present a formal bid for a portion of it fibre assets has expired.
In August, Vocus Group made a non-binding offer of AU$6.3 billion ($4.2 billion) to buy rival TPG Telecom’s enterprise, government, and wholesale assets, which included their wholesale broadband business, Vision Network.
This unit made up 18% of TPG Telecoms’ total fiscal revenue last year, at AU$5.52 billion ($3.65 billion).
The period of exclusivity had already been extended once to the 6th September by TPG, which has now expired for a second time.
But despite not reaching a formal agreement, it seems that both firms are still keen to negotiate.
“The consideration of AU$6.3 billion and the highly provisional indicative EBITDA perimeter of approximatelyAU $550 million are subject to change. TPG securityholders should be aware that the nature of the transaction involves considerable complexity which needs time to work through and there remains no certainty an agreed transaction will eventuate,” said TPG in a statement.
If successful, the deal would create a combined entity with an enterprise valuation of between AU$8 billion and AU$9 billion ($5.06 billion and $5.69 billion)
Last year, TPG Telecom was the last of Australia’s three largest telcos to sell off their mobile tower infrastructure. The firm sold its mobile towers and rooftop infrastructure to OMERS in a AU$950 million ($627 million) deal, with TPG using the funds to reduce a debt pile currently standing at $3.9 billion.

Greetings, everyone. Our teams have been hard at work and have cooked up something tasty for you in the Bicom Systems kitchen as we present the newest versions of SERVERware and sipPROT.
Both of them have been made more robust and easier to manage for our users with a couple of extra quality of life changes on top of the performance updates and infrastructural improvements.
SEE WHAT’S NEW IN 4.5 FIRSTHAND
Here’s what we have in store for you.
SERVERware v4.5
[embedded content]
KVMs As VPS Engines
If you want an alternative to the usual LXCs (Linux Containers), then look no further as the SERVERware team has enabled KVMs to double as VPS engines.
While KVM VPSs may offer slightly different performance levels compared to LXC-hosted ones, they come with vastly superior security options, making them a compelling choice in today’s security-conscious business landscape.
Your data and operations are still protected by high level safeguards, providing you peace of mind and confidence in your online presence.
With the KVM hosted VPS you will still be able to enjoy all of the core functionalities that you’re accustomed to, from easy replication and seamless backups to flexible removal options, managing your VPS has never been more efficient.
Improving Our Geo Redundancy Capabilities
Speaking of security, or data integrity at the very least, the SERVERware team has also done a number of upgrades to our geo redundancy option.
The first change was to make all IPs assigned as alternate IPs get automatically configured to work on the VPS on the secondary site, after the takeover occurs, ensuring minimal service disruption and data loss.
The second change assists with cleanup, letting server admins remove redundant VPS replications directly from SERVERware’s GUI, removing a lot of unnecessary steps to do it otherwise and providing better visual clarity in the server’s infrastructure.
The last change revolves around making it easier to find out when a VPS has gone unsynced with the main server for too long with an alert once a VPS hits the two week threshold.
Improving Installation Procedures
Another quality of life benefit that’s coming with SERVERware v4.5 is the option to create ZFS pools on OS disks.
The install wizard will scan your setup, detect available disks and, based on that information, will suggest optimal ZFS pool configurations.
It should help add additional data redundancy to your system to further improve your system’s data integrity options.
Optimizing The Custom Subnetting Feature
For all of our users who operate with specific network requirements, SERVERware now has the option to add custom subnets to an already existing network, helping improve overall data flow by allowing you to adjust it to your preference.
Ubuntu 22.04 Compatible
For all the devheads and other Linux users out there, our SERVERware team has updated SERVERware to be compatible with the newest Ubuntu release, 22.04, making sure that its fantastic features are available to everyone.
QOL Cleanup Across The Board
Aside from these major changes, we have also done a bit of cleanup to improve overall visual clarity and tool intuitiveness with a number of small changes.
While there are too many to count, some of the most relevant ones are:
Adding notices for bad storage and memory values
Renaming domains to partitions to reduce confusion
Improving logging for VPS trim
Added polish to GUI updates
Backend fixes
And many more…
sipPROT v5
[embedded content]
Adding A “Face” To sipPROT
One of the biggest changes that sipPROT has received in v5 is the construction of an interface for sipPROT in PBXware.
The functionalities remain the same as things like dynamic blocking and geoIP blocking are still present alongside all of the other features.
Now, however, the amount of time required to do some added configurations or other changes to the system should be greatly reduced and managing sipPROT should be more intuitive.
sipPROT Is Now Integrated Into PBXWare
With the v7 release of PBXware, users will now be able to install sipPROT directly from the PBXware interface.
You’ll still need a sipPROT license, but the installation should now only take a few clicks of a button instead of having to go through a whole separate process.
It’ll be accessible directly from the PBXware side panel.
Country-specific Block/Allowlists
Another security feature that was added in sipPROT v5.0 is the ability for admins to directly block or allow traffic from entire countries or specific IP ranges from said country thanks to Allow and Deny policies.
On top of that, transferring these lists to a new server doesn’t have to be manual anymore as the lists can be imported or exported as .csv files and be rebuilt on a new server in mere moments.
Striving Toward A Greater Product
We here at Bicom Systems always aim to bring both our customers and business partners the best product that we can, that’s why we’re always hard at work to keep up with the latest business trends and innovations of our own and integrate them into our products.
We strive to be a company that you can rely on, a company that has everyone’s mutual interests in mind which is why we’ll keep delivering our best with every new product release. We’ll make sure that you can keep up with the market.
