Conferences and networking events are a big part of our research cycle.
There’s no better way to keep tabs on what’s happening in telecom than to meet with industry professionals, ask questions, present our data, and learn about what’s on the horizon.
No time for conference hopping?
Here's a collection of resources to catch you up on this year’s travels (so far), brought to you by our team of jet-setting analysts.
Investment in new submarine cables has surged in recent years. Despite some fluctuations, new cable investment has averaged over $2 billion per year in the past eight years.
