This year has been—and will continue to be—a busy one in the submarine networking industry. Several new submarine cables have already been announced, deployed, or put into service.

466 Tbps: The Global Internet Continues to Expand
Global internet bandwidth rose last year by only 26%—the lowest annual growth rate seen in at least 15 years—and at a compound annual rate of 28% between 2015 and 2019.
Total international bandwidth now stands at 466 Tbps. The pace of growth is slowing, but it still represents a near-tripling of bandwidth since 2015.

How Do You Become Africa's Largest Telco?
For better or worse, MTN has been unafraid of doing business in locations experiencing war, political turmoil, and disaster.
This strategy has made them one of the biggest telcos in Africa—but it hasn't come without cost. The Wall Street Journal's recent profile earns the top spot on our list of monthly reads.
Next month TeleGeography's Alan Mauldin returns to Submarine Networks World in Singapore. And, yes, you can absolutely look forward to his annual presentation on the state of the submarine cable industry. It’s happening on September 17 at 5:00 p.m.
Howdy folks, Greg is out on vacation (adventuring in the magical kingdom of Orlando, Florida) so I will be filling in for a bit to continue our series on “wargaming” WAN scenarios.
As summer winds down and conference season approaches, TeleGeography is prepping for an autumn marathon of telecom workshops and presentations.
Our conference circuit of course includes the 2019 Asian Carriers Conference.

Adding SD-WAN, Keeping MPLS
My wife has a brutal Northern Virginia commute; she drives about 80 miles a day. Recently, we decided it was time for a new car for her.
Our new e-book contains everything you wanted to know about network benchmarking.
Probably a few extra things, too.

Wargaming Your WAN: MPLS-Broadband Edition
Hello and welcome to the third entry in our series about wargaming WAN configuration scenarios. We’ve made it to the MPLS-broadband edition!
Before we continue: if you haven’t read the previous entries where I introduce our hypothetical WAN and then add local internet breakouts with DIA, it probably makes sense to do that before you dive into this one. (This scenario mirrors our last, but replaces DIA with ISP-sourced business broadband.)
