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.
