Three things that crossed our desk this week.
Singapore's Electricity Tariff Fell 10.6%. A Quarter of Commercial Meters Can't Feel It.
Energy Intelligence
SP Group cut the Q4 2026 tariff by 3.32 cents per kWh on the back of Brent holding below US$90. Only the 67.79% of business accounts on the regulated tariff get the full cut; the 24.98% on fixed-rate retail plans stay locked at whatever they signed. A cut this large is a contract-timing test, and many facilities will find they failed it.
GoDaddy Deleted the Last Step Between Owning a Domain and Selling It. Only If You're Already Its Customer.
Fragment Economy
On 24 September Afternic dropped the DNS verification step for domains held in a linked GoDaddy account, while owners at other registrars still add the TXT record and wait. Afternic-driven aftermarket revenue hit $129 million in Q2 2026 alone. Liquidity is becoming a perk of staying inside the platform that profits at both ends of the sale.
IPOPHL's Draft Test Has Four Tiers. Washington's AI Copyright Rule Still Has Only One.
Digital IP
The Philippines' IP office is consulting on guidelines that sort AI-touched work into four tiers: AI-assisted, AI-enhanced, hybrid and purely AI-generated. The US shorthand that AI work can't be copyrighted skips the human selection-and-arrangement layer that Zarya of the Dawn already protected. Under a tiered test, the version history and prompt logs you keep today decide which tier you land in later.
So what: The common thread is friction that only shows up once you look: a tariff cut that never reaches the meter, a listing path open to only one registrar’s customers, an IP claim that depends on records nobody kept. Technicity builds the systems that remove that friction — see how.
