Verizon plans to use Google Cloud as a data platform partner for autonomous network operations, combining AI models, unified data infrastructure, and connectivity to predict faults, automate responses, and reshape how infrastructure is run at scale.

The partnership extends well beyond customer-facing Gemini deployments. Verizon says it is building an autonomous network intelligence framework intended to identify and resolve network anomalies before subscribers are affected. Google Cloud will supply part of the underlying data and AI environment, [...]

The airline plans to use Gemini Enterprise for operational decision-making and crew logistics while presenting the expanded dual-cloud architecture as additional protection against infrastructure disruption and concentration risk.

The agreement is more interesting for its architecture than its AI branding. Ryanair already has a long-term relationship with Amazon Web Services, retaining AWS cloud and AI technologies including Bedrock and AgentCore. Google Cloud now joins that environment rather [...]

📅 Jul 23, 2026 - Google Lands Nuvem Cable, Expanding US-Europe Cloud Capacity - Google has completed the Nuvem subsea cable landing in Sines, Portugal, adding a high capacity route between Europe and the United States as cloud and AI traffic accelerates. The 7,000 kilometer system links Portugal with South Carolina through the Azores and Bermuda, carrying up to 384 terabits per second across 16 fiber pairs at full design capacity.

For infrastructure buyers, the immediate change is not simply another line on a network map. Nuvem gives Google more control over a route carrying traffic between its American and European cloud regions, adding redundancy across the Atlantic. Customers may eventually see better resilience, latency or availability. None of that is automatic. [...]

📅 Jun 17, 2026 - Deloitte Opens London AI Studio With Google Cloud - Deloitte has launched an AI Studio in London with Google Cloud, aiming to help UK organizations move agentic AI projects from prototypes into production. The facility, opening in late July, will support clients in public services, finance, retail, healthcare, life sciences, and TMT, while Deloitte trains 1,000 UK AI and data specialists on Gemini Enterprise.

The announcement lands in a market that has started to tire of AI demos. Enterprises have spent the past two years testing copilots, chat interfaces, internal search tools, and productivity assistants. Useful in places. Underwhelming in others. Agentic AI is being sold as the next stage: systems that do not merely answer questions but [...]

📅 Jun 8, 2026 - Google’s $920M-A-Month SpaceX AI Deal Prices GPU Scarcity - Google has signed a contract to rent AI compute from SpaceX for $920 million a month, according to a regulatory filing tied to SpaceX's expected IPO. The agreement runs from October 2026 to June 2029, covers about 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, and puts a near-$30 billion price on access to scarce infrastructure over time for model workloads globally.

The interesting part is not only that Google wants more AI capacity. It is that Google, of all companies, is prepared to buy it from SpaceX.

Google has its own cloud, its own data centers, its own networking, its own AI teams and its own custom AI chips. It is not a startup standing outside the GPU supply chain with a purchase order and a dream. Yet [...]
