News Summary:

Colt Technology Services was fined EUR 10,000 in Belgium on May 1, 2026, by telecom regulator Bipt for failing to make timely filings. The agency reported that Colt did not promptly respond to an August 2025 request for information regarding a potential spoofing case involving one of its client numbers, with the required data not becoming available until December, three months after the original deadline. Previously, on April 14, 2026, A&K Travel Group (AKTG) selected Colt to deliver a global quantum-safe network for its core business and portfolio of premier travel brands, including Abercrombie & Kent, Crystal, and Cox & Kings. AKTG sought this highly secure, future-ready infrastructure to support global digital connectivity for its remote and operationally complex travel experiences, with the network supported by Arqit.
