We're closing out February with our top five telecom reading recommendations from the month.
First up: a look at how submarine cables are vulnerable to sea-level rise, storms, and other climate impacts.

First up: a look at how submarine cables are vulnerable to sea-level rise, storms, and other climate impacts.
The TeleGeography team might know them as Research Director Alan Mauldin and Vice President of Research Tim Stronge: colleagues, analysts, and submarine cable enthusiasts.
But an entire universe of SubOptic attendees know them as something entirely different: the Telecom Mythbusters.
Rohan Singh knew his future was in networking and communication when he saw his first network diagram at around 12 years old. That's probably why he feels like he's been involved in networking for most of his life.
Now Vice President of Client Services at Marlabs, Rohan joined us at TeleGeography Explains the Internet to talk about all that goes into the modern digital transformation.
Retail international long distance (ILD) call revenues have slowly withered in recent years. So, too, has ILD’s contribution to overall carrier revenues.
Twenty years ago, the United States was very much at the center of the global internet.
In 2003, 98% of all interregional internet capacity and 42% of all international internet bandwidth was connected to the U.S. despite emerging intraregional capacity in Europe and Asia.
Submarine cables helped to enforce this centrality, and the highest capacity cables were connected to the U.S. Around this time, the U.S. was also among the cheapest places to connect to the internet.
So what’s happened to the U.S.’s role? Is the U.S. becoming less centric to the global network?
Mobile network operators around the world continue to close legacy 2G and 3G networks in order to migrate valuable spectrum resources to more widely used 4G and 5G technologies.
Following up on our August 2021 piece covering 3G sunsets in Europe, today we have a look at how the situation has developed since then and which markets will be next to wave goodbye to 2G and 3G.
The wait is over. The 2023 State of the Network Report is finally here and it's our sixth annual check-in on all things telecom, if you can believe it.
We again extract major global bandwidth headlines, take a snapshot of the global internet, peruse the latest in data centers, check in on the cloud, and finish with an update from the voice market.
But what’s new and different? What’s the data telling us in 2023?
Capacity LATAM 2023 is happening March 14-15 in São Paulo. And you just might see a familiar face on the agenda.
Senior Research Analyst Peter Wood will be sharing his expertise in a subsea panel discussion on March 14.
Historically, the two most predictable trends in the bandwidth market have been consistent demand growth and price erosion. But those trends have been challenged over the past few years.
Recent supply chain issues and geopolitical challenges have dramatically slowed price erosion globally. For the first time, we're asking ourselves, are prices actually increasing?
Why has it taken us this long to welcome Senior Research Manager Paul Brodsky—an A+ podcast guest—to TeleGeography Explains the Internet?
I brought Paul on to discuss our most recent voice report, but we couldn’t help getting into a whole lot more.
