Security
A revolutionary technology is on the verge of reshaping the world as we know it—and hostile nations like China, North Korea, and Russia are racing to control it.
This technology, called quantum computing, is no longer science fiction. It’s real, and it’s poised to be a billion times faster than the most advanced systems today.
With it, America’s enemies could break encryption codes, access classified secrets, and undermine national security.
But where there’s risk, there’s also opportunity. The growing need to combat these threats could fuel an estimated $2 trillion in cybersecurity spending annually.
One under-the-radar company is positioned to ride this wave, developing groundbreaking solutions to safeguard data and thwart quantum-based threats.

Cocoa Prices Surge as Supply Concerns Intensify
Cocoa futures recently reached a new high, driven by escalating supply concerns, which are likely to worsen the already high costs for chocolatiers and consumers alike. This surge follows a period of weak harvests in West Africa, the world's largest cocoa-producing region, and is further fueled by adverse weather patterns that threaten to exacerbate the situation.
While this season's main-crop harvest showed some promise, the outlook for the mid-crop, expected in April, has worsened due to heavy rainfall and the intensification of the Harmattan winds, which dry out the soil and stress the crops. This combination of weather challenges is expected to result in another global supply deficit, reversing previous expectations of a surplus. As a result, cocoa prices have skyrocketed, with futures recently topping $11,900 per ton, nearly tripling in price this year alone.
The tightening supply has caused a sharp reduction in U.S. cocoa inventories, prompting chocolate companies to deplete their stockpiles. This has contributed to a rise in market volatility, and while prices may ease next year due to increased production and reduced consumption, the long-term outlook remains positive. Cocoa demand is projected to grow steadily through 2050 as more regions develop a taste for chocolate.

T-Mobile Prepares Beta Launch for Satellite-to-Cell Service
T-Mobile is inviting customers to join the beta testing phase of its upcoming satellite-to-cell service, developed in partnership with SpaceX's Starlink. This service aims to eliminate dead zones across 500,000 square miles of U.S. territory, promising greater connectivity in areas where traditional cell towers are unavailable. Interested users can register for free on a newly launched sign-up page, with testing set to begin early next year.
The beta program is available to post-paid customers with compatible satellite phones, although T-Mobile has not released a detailed list of supported devices. Initially, the service will offer satellite-based texting, with voice calls and data capabilities planned for future updates.
T-Mobile and SpaceX received regulatory approval from the FCC to deploy this satellite-to-cell service. However, the approval does not extend to the power levels required for real-time voice and video functionality. Competing telecom providers have expressed concerns about potential interference with their satellite offerings as this technology develops.
Early tests have already demonstrated the service's potential. In recent months, T-Mobile tested emergency alerts using satellite connections and provided text messaging capabilities in hurricane-affected areas. As the beta launch approaches, the service is poised to redefine communication in remote regions.
