📅 May 15, 2026 - GoDaddy, Infoblox Back Open Rules for AI Agent Trust - Internet infrastructure firms Infoblox and GoDaddy are backing open standards intended to help AI agents identify themselves, verify legitimacy, and discover one another across the web, an early signal that trust and naming systems for autonomous software may become contested infrastructure. The effort combines enterprise DNS expertise with one of the world's largest web hosting and domain registration ecosystems.

For now, AI agents mostly live inside controlled environments.

They sit inside enterprise software stacks, cloud ecosystems, customer service systems, or developer platforms where trust is relatively straightforward. Identity comes from platform permissions. Security boundaries [...]

📅 Apr 23, 2026 - AMS-IX Launches Time Service To Reduce Satellite Dependency - AMS-IX is rolling out a new timing service aimed at reducing reliance on satellite signals, a dependency that underpins much of today's digital infrastructure but remains surprisingly fragile. The Amsterdam-based internet exchange says its Time-as-a-Service offering delivers accurate, traceable time directly through terrestrial networks, targeting sectors where even small disruptions can have outsized consequences.

Time is one of those invisible dependencies. Everything from financial trades to cloud workloads relies on synchronized clocks, but the systems providing that time - mostly GPS and other satellite signals - sit outside the control of the organizations using them. That's been [...]

📅 Apr 8, 2026 - Cloudflare Targets AI Web Control as Quantum Timeline Shifts - Cloudflare is moving on two separate fronts that are starting to define the next phase of the internet, rolling out controls with GoDaddy to manage AI-driven traffic while accelerating its own timeline to secure the web against quantum computing threats. The company is addressing immediate pressure from AI agents and longer-term risks to cryptographic systems.

The overlap is not technical. It is directional. Both moves point to the same underlying issue: trust on the internet is becoming harder to verify, and the existing mechanisms are starting to show limits.

One problem is visible already. AI systems are crawling, extracting, and acting across the web in ways that site owners struggle [...]

📅 Apr 7, 2026 - GoDaddy Launches AI Agent Identity System with LegalZoom - GoDaddy is teaming up with LegalZoom to introduce a system aimed at identifying and verifying AI agents operating across the web, as businesses begin deploying autonomous software that can act independently. The initiative centers on an emerging standard called Agent Name Service, or ANS, which uses existing internet infrastructure to attach verifiable identities to AI agents.

The timing reflects a shift that is still unfolding. AI agents are no longer confined to chat interfaces or internal tools. They are starting to interact with other systems, perform transactions, and in some cases operate without direct human oversight. That raises a basic question. Not what an agent can do, but who [...]

📅 Feb 2, 2026 - AMS-IX Sets Traffic Records as AI Fuels Internet Growth - AMS-IX ended 2025 with record traffic levels on its Amsterdam Internet Exchange, underlining the platform's continued importance as global demand for connectivity accelerates. The Ehandled 35.66 exabytes of data over the year, a 4 percent increase compared to 2024, as businesses and consumers relied more heavily on cloud services, streaming platforms, and AI-driven applications.

December marked the busiest month on record, with 3.21 exabytes of traffic, highlighting steady growth rather than short-term spikes.

The Amsterdam IX platform now connects 902 networks, including global content and technology companies, telecom operators, ISPs, and hundreds of regional and local networks. This [...]
