February 25, 2025

Cyta, the leading telecommunications authority in Cyprus, reported revenues of €415 million and an expected pre-tax profit of €59 million for 2024, according to Chairwoman Maria Tsiakka. Speaking at a House finance committee meeting on the 2025 budget, Tsiakka emphasized that Cyta’s financial strength and strategic investments are not just impressive figures—they’re critical to Cyprus’ economic future.

Financial Strength And National Impact

Since 2000, Cyta has funneled over €1.27 billion back to the state—€914 million in dividends and €359 million in taxes. “This contribution is not just numbers, it is an investment for Cyprus and its citizens,” Tsiakka noted. More than a public service, Cyta is a modern telecommunications powerhouse, ensuring that every person, business, and community across the island has equal access to cutting-edge technology.

Leading The Digital Revolution

A standout achievement in 2024 was the completion of transformative infrastructure projects that have vaulted Cyprus to the forefront of digital connectivity. Thanks to significant investments in satellite and undersea infrastructure, Cyprus has soared from 17th to the top spot in Europe for 5G network coverage. Strategic moves, including a deal to extend the BlueMed cable to its Yeroskipou landfall station, have reinforced Cyprus’ reputation as a reliable telecommunications hub in the eastern Mediterranean.

Investing In The Future

Looking ahead, Cyta has earmarked €108 million for its 2025 development budget, focusing on cementing its leadership in digital infrastructure. Its primary goal? Achieving full optical fiber coverage across Cyprus, making it the first EU country to reach 100% connectivity—even in remote mountainous regions, with upgrades set for completion by the end of 2025. In parallel, Cyta is overhauling its data centers, including constructing a groundbreaking, internationally certified green data center poised to attract both local and global clients, all while championing energy independence and reducing environmental impact.

Political Endorsements And Ongoing Debates

Cyta’s performance has garnered robust political support. Akel MP Andreas Kafkalias praised the organization for its vital contributions to public coffers, arguing that its success effectively counters the call for privatization. Dipa MP Alekos Tryfonides echoed this sentiment, lauding the expansion of 5G coverage and enhanced international connectivity. However, concerns persist over the transparency of Cyta’s pension fund investments and the recruitment of 50 private-sector executives, with critics warning that these moves must not compromise the public character of this key institution.

In a rapidly digitalizing world, Cyta stands out as a modern, competitive public entity driving Cyprus’s economic growth and technological advancement.

Cursor Expands To Mobile As AI Coding Agents Gain Ground

Cursor is expanding its AI coding platform to mobile devices with the launch of Cursor Mobile, allowing users to prompt coding agents directly from their smartphones.

Announced on Monday, the app builds on the Cursor 2.0 redesign introduced in October, which shifted the platform’s focus toward autonomous coding agents rather than a traditional code editor. Users can launch new agents or continue conversations started on desktop.

A Mobile Interface For A Changing Workflow

The launch reflects a broader shift in AI-assisted software development. As coding agents become increasingly capable of handling implementation tasks, developers are spending less time navigating large codebases and more time reviewing, guiding and supervising AI-generated work.

That evolution also makes mobile devices a more practical interface. They are well suited to reviewing progress, sending prompts and managing ongoing workflows, even when the underlying development is taking place remotely.

Cursor is not alone in moving in that direction. Anthropic and OpenAI have also introduced mobile experiences for their coding products, signalling that competition is extending beyond model performance and editor integration to the overall developer workflow.

The Shift From Editing To Orchestration

For years, professional development tools were built around the assumption that developers would spend most of their time writing and editing code on desktop computers. AI coding agents are beginning to change that dynamic by taking on more of the implementation work, allowing developers to focus increasingly on directing, reviewing and refining outputs.

Anthropic’s Claude Code lead, Boris Cherny, recently described how dramatically his own workflow has changed.

“Most of my coding now is on my phone,” Cherny said. “I would have said ‘you’re crazy’ if you told me that six months ago, but yeah, here we are.”

Why The Mobile Bet Matters

Cursor’s latest release expands access to its AI coding agents beyond the desktop, reflecting broader changes in how developers interact with AI-powered tools. As coding increasingly involves prompting, reviewing and coordinating AI-generated work, mobile devices are becoming another way to stay connected to software projects throughout the development process.
