3.3.2022 09:02:10 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Intelsat , operator of the world’s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial network and leading provider of inflight connectivity (IFC), has been selected by Orange Mali SA to bring 3G and 4G connectivity to hard-to-reach areas in Mali, the eighth largest country in Africa.
The agreement marks a first in Francophone West Africa – the successful deployment of 4G networks over satellite, judged to be the optimal solution given the size of the country and the logistics involved.
Orange Mali is the leading mobile network operator in Mali and has been honored with two prestigious awards by OOKLA (global broadband speed test) as “Western Africa’s fastest mobile network” and “Mali’s fastest ISP.”
“Intelsat is on a mission to deliver high-quality, dependable connectivity to people around the world, regardless of where they live,” said Intelsat general manager and vice president of Networks, Brian Jakins. “But for people in remote and rural locations, reliable and secure connectivity takes on a heightened level of importance. The Intelsat team is partnering with Orange Mali to help resolve a serious connectivity problem in a country where terrestrial infrastructure quality is less reliable.”
“From a feasibility and economic standpoint, satellite communications are ideal for deploying 3G and 4G coverage in a country like ours,” said Moussa Yaro, technical director of Orange Mali. “Intelsat’s reputation as an innovative market leader providing seamless coverage in some of the most remote corners of the world, along with our excellent current working relationship with the company, makes them the ideal solution for our needs.”

FuzeBox AI Named Founding Co-Author of SPUR Coalition Technical Committee on Verifying AI Content Use5.10.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
A new technical committee will define how publishers can independently confirm AI companies' reports of content use. FuzeBox AI has been named by the SPUR Coalition, an international nonprofit of 37 news and media organizations, as one of four founding co-authors of its Evidence Profile Technical Committee, adopted Sept. 2, 2026, to draft an evidence profile for SPUR's Content Telemetry standard: a way for publishers to verify AI usage reports without depending on the reporting company's cooperation. Under SPUR's current standard, AI companies self-report their content use. A company that skips reporting leaves no record, and publishers can't check what they do receive. On July 10, 2026, FuzeBox proposed its Verified Provenance Telemetry Standard (VPTS): publishers seed content with detectable markers, then verify their appearance in AI outputs via an auditable ledger, with no change to SPUR's standard. Within 48 hours, three organizations filed related proposals: ProRata on usage magn
