Retail international long distance (ILD) call revenues have slowly withered in recent years. So, too, has ILD’s contribution to overall carrier revenues.
I recently had the pleasure of not only attending the 2022 European Peering Forum, but also presenting my own update on interconnection geography.
Unsurprisingly, there was a lot to cover. A full 47 slides, to be exact.
Here are some highlights from my presentation.
Many retail service providers, such as mobile operators, MVNOs, and cable broadband providers, rely heavily on wholesale carriers to transport and terminate their customers’ international calls.
Our recently updated TeleGeography Report and Database provides new voice traffic data and analysis—including trends in wholesale prices and revenues.
I think you know where we're going with this.
Let's talk data.
A simple broadband connection to the internet remains one of the most common ways to access cloud networks and services. But as these services and architectures evolve, so do the ways companies can connect.
Today we're sharing our guide to connecting to cloud services from our Cloud and WAN Research Service. (For more on cloud service providers and related geography, jump over to our interactive Cloud Infrastructure Map.)
The world of WAN services can seem like the Wild West to even the savviest of WAN managers. We try to bring some order to this world with our Cloud and WAN Infrastructure research service.
Many retail service providers, such as mobile operators, MVNOs, and cable broadband providers, rely heavily on wholesale carriers to transport and terminate their customers’ international calls.
Wholesale carriers terminated approximately 327 billion minutes of traffic in 2018, down 3% from 2017. While wholesale traffic declined in 2018, over the last 10 years it has seen a compounded annual growth rate of 3%.
