Ah, São Paulo. A critical market for Latin American connectivity (just ask our Market Connectivity Score), and the perfect location for Capacity LATAM 2025.
This year’s conference—held March 18-19—will feature our own Peter Wood as chairperson of a cable-focused panel session:
With February right around the corner, many of us are gearing up to celebrate 20 years of Capacity Middle East.
The 2025 conference—held February 4-6 in Dubai—will tackle big topics like how the Middle East is preparing for AI, and how the industry recovered from February’s Red Sea cable cuts.
TeleGeography’s Paul Brodsky will lead a panel focused on the latter, looking back at the immediate implications of the cuts, and how different parties rerouted.
Last month, I had the pleasure of speaking at Cairo ICT about colocation and connectivity trends.
I covered global bandwidth first, followed by a rundown on bandwidth in the Middle East and Africa.
Next up, data centers and interconnection hubs, with a discussion on where the hubs are, what makes a hub, and how hubs grow. Finally, I talked about end-user demand, which is very important with the growth of internet and demand.

As a new year approaches, so does our annual workshop on all things telecom.
At PTC ’25, Brianna Boudreau, Jon Hjembo, and Alan Mauldin will return to the conference stage to share fresh insights on pricing, interconnection, submarine cables, bandwidth, and more.
A big part of last year's conversation revolved around resolving the delays in new network supply that had plagued the industry for the last few years, and assessing the “new normal.”
Here’s what the TeleGeography trio will dive into in 2025.
Home to several older but underutilized subsea cables, the Caribbean is a challenging market for operators. With small island nations dependent on subsea, connectivity is vital. As systems age, key stakeholders want new ones, but with difficult business cases, the debate is centering around what end of life means as the old 25-year rule continues to bend.
This is the brief for a panel TeleGeography’s Lilian Lea is moderating next month at Capacity CALA.
Telecoms World Asia—the region's premier conference focused entirely on Asian telcos—will be back in action November 19–20, 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand.
And we’ve got a discount code just for our readers.
Another year, another African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF) keynote presentation for Senior Research Manager Patrick Christian.
His 2024 African Network Geography Update explored global network trends, as well as African bandwidth trends, interconnection hub trends, and end-user demand. There was a special focus on Kinshasa, where this year’s AfPIF conference was held.
What are the best-connected hubs in Africa? Where are new and planned submarine cables landing? Is intra-African bandwidth gaining traction?
We are now moving from sci-fi to reality with the launch of many AI services that are poised to transform industries and reshape our daily lives.
While data centers are expanding rapidly to support AI requirements, there is less clarity on how AI might impact long-haul network infrastructure, especially submarine cables.
This is exactly what I delved into during my keynote at Submarine Networks World 2024.
If you look at the agenda for ITW Asia—happening December 4-5 in Singapore—you’ll see topics spanning future networks, data infrastructure, subsea Asia, SatCom, and more.
You should also see a familiar face.
Undersea geopolitics and digital sovereignty are the buzziest of buzzwords as of late. So it's no surprise that the politics of subsea cables are on the agenda for Submarine Networks World 2024.
