Winning in this race requires that we become much more customer oriented, much more efficient in all of our operations, and at the same time shift our culture towards more lean and experimental. If the solution works as envisioned, Telenor Connexion can easily deploy it to production and scale as needed without an investment in hardware.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. India's speed test medians are moving quickly, but variance is orders-of-magnitude wide, with 5G penetration below 25% in the most populous areas.

And of course, companies that don’t use AI don’t need an AI use policy. That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure. Corporate policies on AI use will be appearing and evolving over the next year. (At Does the lack of a policy prevent the adoption of AI?

Digitalization offers almost endless possibilities to communicate faster, work more efficiently, and be more creative – in real-time. Previously, the top priorities for IT departments were equipping data centers with hardware, purchasing software, and further developing proprietary software.

A Primer on Speed. Discussing performance and “speed” can quickly get complex, because many underlying aspects contribute to a web-page loading “slowly”.

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. The world didn't yet have pervasive multi-process browser sandboxing, JS JITs , or metal-speed binary isolation. Don't like the consequences?

In each quantum of time, hardware and OS vendors press ahead, adding features. As OS and hardware deployed base integrate these components, the set of what most computers can do is expanded. This is often determined by hardware integration and device replacement rates. Same with IDEs and developer tools. Same with utilities.

When even a bit of React can be a problem on devices slow and fast alike, using it is an intentional choice that effectively excludes people with low-end hardware.

JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed.
