From AI-powered satellites in orbit to a seismic shift in how we pay for enterprise software, the global tech landscape is being redrawn in real-time.
Guy Currier, Research Director for The Futurum Group, joins Alastair Cooke on this episode of the Tech Field Day News Rundown to discuss SAP’s pivot toward value-based AI pricing, Blue Origin’s ambitious "Project Sunrise" satellite network, and bring in Stephen Foskett to talk about the FCC’s latest crackdown on foreign-made consumer routers.
They also discuss the critical security innovations coming out of KubeCon Europe 2026—specifically the Cloudsmith threat intelligence upgrade and the RapidFort-Nutanix partnership for "near-zero" vulnerability containers—while analyzing the massive legal fallout at Super Micro Computer regarding diverted NVIDIA chips and the Trump administration's push for a unified national AI regulatory framework led by David Sacks.
This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Alastair Cooke and guest host Guy Currier of The Futurum Group.
