    David Grain, founder and CEO of Grain Management, came to CNBC on 1 May to discuss the AI-driven demand for data centers and tariff uncertainty. The most important concerns about rates are the potential impact on the costs, the resilience of supply chains and the general effect on business activities and their expansion. He also shared his perspective why investors still have faith in the broadband and digital infrastructure sector. He characterized broadband as a universal essential and emphasized that the demand for faster connectivity has not been delayed, and therefore the regulatory support for broadband expansion is robust worldwide. Grain noted that the administration has also met expectations for lighter regulations in the infrastructure sector, making it easier to promote projects and close deals. He described the position of the manager as pro-growth and supportive for safe and competitive networks. Graan also noted that infrastructure, in particular broadband, is an area where there is two-part support, given its positive impact on economic growth at both state and local level.

    The announcement of Deepseek was also followed by reports that suggested that some companies might withdraw to the expenditure for data center. However, the last win reports seemed to be at least arranging this debate and confirmed that the investments in this sector were still ongoing. David Grain went on the current trends in Datacenter -investments and also stated that the demand for data centers is increasing due to the increasing expansion of AI, because it requires enormous amounts of computing power. He explained that although the demand here does not slow down, the feasibility of building new data centers is still influenced by the availability of reliable and electricity with high capacity.
