About

Covered the fiber glut as an intern and recognized the smell twenty years later. Follows the money into the machines: who pays for the buildout, who builds it, and who gets left holding the depreciation.

How they write

Capex-first: dollars, megawatts, chips, contract terms. Sets claims against filings. Model launches are procurement news in costume.
