For National Intern Day, TeleGeography welcomes summer pricing intern Lizzie Hahn to the blog! Lizzie is one semester away from earning her BA from the George Washington University here in Washington, DC. She’s a pre-law student double-majoring in political science and international business.
We loved having her cohort in the office to assist with large, data-intensive research projects throughout the summer.
Today, Lizzie shares a touch of what she's learned about broadband markets Down Under while on the job. We'll hand it over to her.
British telecom regulator Ofcom recently published its Connected Nations report for 2023.
The latest findings indicate that 17.1 million premises—or 57% of the United Kingdom—had access to full-fiber fixed broadband as of September 2023. This is an increase of 15 percentage points—or 4.6 million premises—when compared to the same point in 2022.
If you caught our recent interview with Chairman of Platform Markets Group Philip Low, you might have caught wind of Platform Global's next big event coming up September 10-12, 2024 in Antibes.
For the uninitiated, this annual meeting is a must-attend for financiers, private equity investors, deal makers, and owners of digital infrastructure.
This year, TeleGeography's Vice President of Research Tim Stronge will join prominent corporate executives from around the world for an in-depth conversation about the current market landscape, finance, land, power, connectivity, and future trends.
We started collecting our monthly dose of telecom reading recommendations when it occurred to us: this reading list is somewhat despairing.
Earthquake-based cable outages, infrastructure security concerns—a headline that literally includes the words "solar catastrophe." We don't mean to bring the room down with our July picks, but maybe have something lighter queued up for later.
Mexico's digital landscape keeps transforming; it's now the fifth-largest e-commerce market in the world.
This is the backdrop for Mexico Connect 2024.
From Mexico's reliable cloud to the integration of AI, this year's conference is set to explore how Mexico's Digital Economy is on track to become LATAM's digital powerhouse.
In May 2021, TeleGeography reviewed the early stages of development of 6G mobile technology. Three years on, we turn the spotlight back onto the nascent 6G market to see how things are shaping up.
Halfway through 2024, TeleGeography's pricing team has logged lots of frequent flyer miles on the conference circuit. From PTC in January, to Capacity events in March, and ITW later in the spring, we've been collecting as much pricing intel as possible.
As we sift through our notes—specifically our latest ITW findings—we begin to see a clearer picture of what's happening with wavelength pricing around the world.
For the last eight years, we've posted submarine cables owned by content providers over here. (Shout-out to the readers who had this one bookmarked.)
When we first published this list in 2017, we had 20 cables listed. Fast-forward to today, and our list has grown to 59—a sizable markup.
With such an uptick in content provider cables to track, we figured it was worth starting a fresh new list for you to bookmark.
Looking back on June 2024, we can't help but notice the plethora of submarine cable updates and announcements that littered our exchanges. (And you know we're always watching for the latest cable news.)
This month didn't disappoint. Just look at this small sampling of news and notes from around the industry in the last three weeks alone:
As cloud adoption becomes increasingly necessary for multinational enterprises, networks are becoming more complex. They now need to connect not just corporate offices to each other, but to various cloud providers at optimal locations.
