We also covered the cloud, connectivity trends, network pricing, and much more.

Last year we decided to experiment with interviewing TeleGeography experts on the stuff they know best: submarine cables, pricing, colocation, bandwidth, capacity, making maps, enterprise networks, and much more.
Our subscribers know that this experiment turned into the TeleGeography Spotlight.
It's that time again. Our team is packing for Honolulu and readying for the Pacific Telecommunications Council annual conference January 21-24, 2018.
