What is a smart city?

A smart city uses computers, sensors, and data to make city life better. Examples include traffic lights that adjust to cars on the road, and systems that save energy in buildings. This expo is one of the biggest places where city leaders and companies show these ideas.

Cities around the world want to be cleaner, safer, and easier to live in. Trade shows like this one let companies show their newest tools and let city leaders see what works. The article is a photo story, so it shows the mood of the event more than hard facts.

California fights "preposterous" Trump admin demand to scrap state broadband laws

California is accepting $1.42 billion in federal BEAD broadband grant funding but is rejecting the Trump administration's condition that it stop enforcing its net neutrality law and other telecom regulations. The state reserves the right to challenge that condition, and it could delay or cancel grant distribution depending on how the process unfolds. The California Public Utilities Commission told NTIA Administrator Arielle Roth that it cannot be bound by unconstitutional or unauthorized terms, and it noted that other state agencies, such as the attorney general, can still enforce state laws.

Ukraine’s drone strikes spur hasty Russian plans for underground data centers

Russian tech companies are working to harden and hide data centers underground after Ukrainian drone strikes damaged facilities with AI supercomputers and disrupted cloud services for millions of users. The Kremlin has required data center owners to reserve computing capacity for emergency state needs, and Rostelcom has reportedly discussed moving some facilities underground with Norilsk, according to Vedomosti. A November 2 decree signed by Putin orders operators to set aside 10 percent of available space and capacity for possible government use, according to Meduza.
