Gtd Perú Invests in Expansion, Prioritizes Quality Amid Double-digit Growth

Lurín, ​Peru – Gtd Perú is bolstering its data center infrastructure with expansions in Lurín and plans for a third facility, demonstrating continued growth despite ⁤challenges requiring increased ⁤investment in maintenance. The company reported maintaining double-digit growth while focusing on service quality over competitive ⁢pricing, according to a company leader.

The expansions reflect Gtd Perú’s strategic commitment to providing reliable and agile service ‍to its customers. While ⁣acknowledging the need to invest more in maintenance to uphold service standards, the company is differentiating itself in⁤ the market through “proximity, reliability and agility when serving customers,” rather than solely competing on price.

“Our strategy is focused more⁢ on quality than price.We are probably not the cheapest operator, but we ‍seek to differentiate ourselves ⁢by proximity, reliability and ⁢agility when serving customers,” stated ⁤a Gtd⁤ leader.

The company currently operates data ⁢centers ‍in Lurín, and is expanding capacity at that location. ⁢Details regarding ⁣the location and timeline for the​ third data center have not yet been disclosed. This investment comes as​ demand for data⁢ services continues to rise in Peru, and Gtd Perú aims ⁣to capitalize on this growth by ⁣offering a premium service experience.

Safaricom Ethiopia: Losses Despite Transforming Telecom Market

written by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor

Safaricom’s ⁣Ethiopian Venture fuels Market growth, But Faces Mounting Financial Strain, ‌World Bank Report​ Reveals

ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA – Safaricom’s ‍entry into the Ethiopian telecommunications market has spurred significant economic growth​ and job creation, but the company continues ‍to operate at ‌a loss due to incomplete regulatory reforms and a ⁢challenging economic climate, according⁢ to a new report by the World ⁣Bank. The findings highlight a complex picture of successful⁤ market liberalization hampered by structural ​constraints.

The World Bank estimates ​that telecom liberalization, largely driven by⁢ Safaricom’s arrival, has⁣ added​ approximately⁢ US$3.1 billion (KSh 400.6 billion) to ethiopia’s GDP – representing ‌0.7% of Gross National Income ​per⁤ capita⁤ – and supported around ‍900,000 jobs. ​The⁢ expansion has demonstrably “transformed Ethiopia‘s digital landscape,” introducing mobile money via M-Pesa, boosting‌ connectivity, and raising standards for ​corporate governance and openness. ‍It has also ⁣fostered innovation in ‍fintech,digital trade,and mobile ​public ⁢services.

however, the report⁣ details significant financial difficulties​ for Safaricom in Ethiopia. Current revenue levels are insufficient to cover annual license amortization costs of US$66.7 million (KSh 8.6 billion) or⁤ ongoing network operations⁣ and maintenance. The company also incurs costs of over US$3 million (KSh 388 million) annually for fibre leasing from its primary competitor, ethio ‍telecom, due to ⁣the delayed licensing of autonomous Tower ‌Companies⁢ and ⁢Infrastructure Companies ⁤(InfraCos).

This reliance on Ethio telecom for‍ wholesale network access,while competing on ⁢retail prices,”severely limits profitability,” the report states. Further exacerbating the⁢ situation is the sharp ‍depreciation of‌ the Ethiopian birr, which fell from 55 to 138 per U.S. dollar between 2024 and 2025. This ‌currency ⁢devaluation slashed ‍dollar-equivalent revenues and reduced the average‌ revenue per user (ARPU) from US$1.66 (KSh 214.6) to US$1.19⁢ (KSh 153.8). Effective data prices also dropped from ⁢38⁤ cents‍ (KSh 49.1) to 21 ⁤cents ‍(KSh 27.1) per ‍gigabyte.

In contrast, Ethio Telecom maintains lower ⁣tariffs ​- around 16 cents (KSh 20.7) per gigabyte – by cross-subsidizing data ​services with profits from⁤ voice ‍calls, a strategy unavailable to Safaricom.

The world Bank‌ warns that Safaricom’s ‍Ethiopian⁤ business ‌remains “structurally constrained” by the absence of licensed TowerCos, InfraCos,‌ and ​Mobile Virtual Network⁣ Operators (MVNOs), ‍as well as ‍a lack of a ​cost-based interconnection⁢ framework.​ This creates an uneven‍ playing⁤ field that⁢ advantages the state-owned Ethio Telecom.

The report concludes that without “urgent regulatory equalisation and reforms to allow infrastructure⁢ sharing and fair pricing,” Safaricom’s‌ Ethiopian venture could‌ remain loss-making indefinitely. Despite ⁣the early ‍financial ⁢challenges, the‌ bank emphasizes that Safaricom remains “a critical driver of⁢ market reform,” offering valuable lessons‍ for investors and regulators on balancing liberalization with long-term⁢ sustainability. The experience,the report cautions,could serve as a “cautionary ‍tale” demonstrating that liberalization requires “structural support” to avoid leaving investors⁤ with sustained losses.

PwC Report: OT, IIoT Security Challenges & Talent Gaps Exposed

by Rachel Kim – Technology Editor October 2, 2025
written by Rachel Kim – Technology Editor

Cybersecurity Report ⁤Highlights Proactive Resilience, Emerging Threats​ & Critical Skills ⁤Gaps

A recent PwC report, the 2026 Global Digital Trust Insights, underscores a critical shift in cybersecurity strategy -​ moving from reactive defense ⁢to proactive resilience – as essential for​ driving business growth. According​ to Nick Godfrey,Senior Director and Global Head at the Office ​of the CISO for Google ​Cloud,this transition demands C-suite⁣ collaboration and ⁣investment in technologies like AI and cloud solutions to empower⁢ security teams.

The report‍ emphasizes the importance of⁤ translating complex cyber​ risks into business language ⁣and establishing a shared understanding of cybersecurity as a collective responsibility. this shared understanding is foundational ⁢for robust governance,resilience,regulatory compliance,and effective incident response. Organizations are encouraged to adopt a‌ “secure-by-design”​ approach and leverage data analytics to strategically prioritize cybersecurity investments.

Beyond current threats, the report flags the looming challenge of quantum computing. While not ⁤an⁣ immediate danger, delaying⁣ the adoption of post-quantum cryptography could⁤ leave sensitive​ data, authentication services, and ​cryptographic systems vulnerable to future disruption. Currently,⁢ 29%⁣ of organizations are piloting and testing post-quantum ⁢solutions, but only 22% have progressed beyond the pilot phase, with nearly ⁢half (49%) having​ not yet begun implementation. Obstacles‌ include a lack of understanding of the risks ​and limited internal resources.

A critically important impediment to progress ‍across the board⁢ is the ongoing⁣ cybersecurity workforce ​shortage. This shortage is particularly acute as organizations strive to operationalize⁣ AI, ⁣secure ​increasingly complex environments, and prepare⁢ for next-generation⁣ threats. ⁤Knowledge and skills gaps are the primary barriers to AI implementation for cyber defense.

To address these gaps, organizations ⁢are exploring a⁣ variety of⁤ strategies, ‍including leveraging⁢ AI tools (53%), security automation tools (48%), consolidating cyber tools (47%), and investing ​in upskilling and ‍reskilling initiatives (47%). ⁣A growing number,particularly those who ⁤have experienced ⁢a major cyberattack (48%),are also⁤ turning to specialized managed security services,especially for AI and cloud-related needs.These ‌services are ‌increasingly viewed as a​ means to modernize critical⁤ system delivery, rather than simply outsourcing ⁤capabilities.

Humanoid Robots: Will Robots Replace Human Jobs?

by Priya Shah – Business Editor September 29, 2025
written by Priya Shah – Business Editor

Humanoid Robot Development Accelerates Despite Hurdles,Market Poised for Explosive Growth

Geneva ‌- The humanoid robot sector is experiencing rapid development,despite ongoing technical challenges,with major players‍ like tesla and ‌Google pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence and robotics. The market, currently valued at​ around $3.3 billion in ‍2024, is projected to reach $38 billion by 2035, according to Goldman Sachs.

Tesla’s Optimus robot has faced ⁢setbacks, including project slowdowns and a temporary​ pause for technical overhauls following a change ⁤in project leadership. The company has also encountered issues ‍with‌ engine overheating, insufficient hand load capacity, and component lifespan. Nevertheless,​ Tesla aims to produce around 5,000 Optimus robots‌ by 2025, priced⁢ between $20,000 and $30,000 per unit. Elon Musk maintains that 80% of Tesla’s future ⁤value will stem from Optimus.

Google,through its DeepMind ‌division,is‍ taking a more “scientific” approach. In September, the company showcased advancements in Gemini Robotics 1.5,AI models enabling robots‍ to perform tasks like sorting laundry – distinguishing ⁣between light and dark clothing. These robots can ⁣also leverage internet data, such as waste sorting guidelines for specific cities, to correctly categorize garbage, compost, and recyclables.

Despite progress,⁣ meaningful⁢ hurdles remain. Battery life is a key limitation, with most robots requiring lengthy ‌recharges after only a few hours of operation. Dexterity of robotic hands also⁤ lags behind human⁤ capabilities.

Initial⁤ applications are expected to focus on industrial settings. BMW is currently ‍testing robots for automotive assembly in South Carolina, and amazon initiated explorations in‌ 2023 for parcel handling. The domestic ‌market for humanoid robots is anticipated to be‌ slower to develop, with ​morgan Stanley Bank estimating it will represent only about 10% of the total humanoid robot ‍market by 2050.
