As another year comes to a close, we're looking at where we've been in 2019. Quite literally, too.
This year, the TeleGeography team shared research around the globe, hitting six continents and more than 20 different countries.
Brace yourselves for some shameless self-promotion.
If you're a regular reader you might know that—in addition to writing snappy stories about telecommunications—TeleGeography is a market research and consulting firm. Since 1989, we've literally and figuratively mapped the industry using the best data in the business.
"Technological sovereignty." That's one way author Justin Sherman captures Russia's recent efforts to develop a domestic internet—a project that might allow them to disconnect from the global internet altogether.
It's a fascinating story that delves into Russia's motivation, disconnection tests, and the potential influence on other nations.
Capacity Asia 2019 is only a month away.
This year, regional experts will cover new technologies like 5G, blockchain, and network virtualization, as well as new markets like e-gaming. Naturally, our team will be on the scene to share our latest data and analysis on the region.

It turns out that the Arctic isn't the easiest place to lay a cable.
Expensive and logistically challenging, Arctic cables are at the center of one of our recommended reads for this month. If you're up for a story that includes forged signatures, Arctic ambitions, and the dynamite quote, “The question is not why Elizabeth did it, but rather, how did she think she’d get away with it?”—then keep reading, my friends.
I'm a cynic and you can be one, too!
This was the title of Tim Stronge's presentation during a recent webinar we did with our friends at Ciena.
