Public scrutiny around data centers is intensifying.

From electricity costs and grid reliability to local environmental concerns, communities are increasingly pushing back against data center development and stakeholders must address this or risk deepening public skepticism.

New research from Escalent and Hahn explores:
• Why opposition to data centers is growing
• Which concerns matter most to consumers
• Who consumers trust for what information
• How utilities, data center stakeholders and policymakers can communicate more effectively at the local level

The findings make one thing clear: earning community trust will require proactive, credible and locally relevant communication that delivers the right messages from the right messengers.

Telematics has reached a turning point in the fleet industry.

The challenge is no longer collecting data. It’s turning that data into action that improves fleet business performance.

As fleet operations become more connected and complex, the telematic providers that succeed will be the ones that help fleets operationalize insights, simplify decision-making and integrate telematics intelligence directly into their daily workflows.

In part two of our miniblog series exploring our newest Fleet Advisory Hub findings, we discuss the future of telematics and connected fleet ecosystems, the growing needs of small fleet businesses, and why telematics providers must shift from product delivery to true partnership.

Only 23% of consumers say they feel comfortable living within 10 miles of a data center.

As data center expansion accelerates nationwide, new research from Escalent and Hahn reveals growing public concerns around electricity costs, grid reliability and community impact—alongside a major opportunity for utilities and data center stakeholders to improve communication and build trust.

Among the findings:
• 66% report only a basic understanding or limited knowledge of data centers
• Concerns about energy use and rising costs are fueling opposition
• Nearly half of consumers say they trust electric providers to offer clear, factual information

With average new vehicle prices remaining elevated, affordability is increasingly a defining force in today’s automotive market—and it may be opening the door for sedans again.

The Detroit Free Press recently featured Escalent's EVForward research alongside other industry perspectives examining the potential return of sedans as consumers balance price, practicality and preference: https://hubs.li/Q04h4bz50

For automakers, understanding these evolving buyer expectations will be critical as the market continues to shift.

Telematics adoption is widespread across commercial vehicle and fleet businesses, but many fleet decision-makers still struggle to turn telematics data into meaningful operational action.

New data from our Fleet Advisory Hub study reveal a growing “value gap” between what telematics promises and what fleet decision-makers actually experience.

In Part 1 of our mini-blog series, our experts Lucas Lowden and Dania Rich-Spencer explore new insights on why telematics often underdelivers operationally and what fleet leaders need to move from passive reporting to proactive fleet management.

What happens when fleet technology that promises efficiency creates more operational complexity instead?

New research from Escalent’s Fleet Advisory Hub reveals a growing disconnect between the expected value of telematics solutions and the reality experienced by many fleet operators. While adoption continues to rise, fewer than half of fleet decision-makers strongly agree their telematics solutions fully meet their business needs.

The findings point to a larger challenge facing the industry: having a telematics solution itself is not enough. Fleet businesses increasingly need integrated systems, consultative support and actionable insights that translate telematics data into operational impact.

Samsung and Orange S.A. are signaling a more measured approach to 6G, with executives suggesting the next generation of wireless may be more of an evolution of 5G than a major leap.

The shift reflects a broader industry rethink, as telecom providers focus on steady, incremental upgrades and clearer return on investment, rather than the large-scale spending cycles that defined previous network rollouts.

https://hubs.li/Q04fB9C30

The boss of Samsung Networks is not expecting any 6G investment 'bump,' while Orange's CTO continues to rail against the 'G paradigm.'
