Carl Grivner, FLAG CEO, published an article with Fast Mode exploring how the global digital infrastructure is reaching a critical tipping point. Demand for global network connectivity is accelerating at an unprecedented pace as the growth in AI, cloud and the drive for universal digital access intensifies.
In the article, Carl highlights three defining trends reshaping our digital future:
- AI needs a new mindset – Scaling AI isn’t just about more power & space, it’s about global, inclusive digital infrastructure investment. Without it, we risk leaving entire regions behind.
- Resilience in tough environments – Connectivity must be both diverse and robust, especially in regions vulnerable to disruption. True network resilience means path diversity and inclusion.
- Equitable access is essential – Connectivity should be considered a human right. Achieving it demands not just infrastructure, but policy, skills and a shared global commitment.
The call to action is clear: collaboration, not competition, must drive the next era of digital infrastructure growth.
