I recently had the pleasure of not only attending the 2022 European Peering Forum, but also presenting my own update on interconnection geography.
Unsurprisingly, there was a lot to cover. A full 47 slides, to be exact.
Here are some highlights from my presentation.
After decades without new routes, several new cables landing in the Gulf have been announced, with more undoubtedly on the way.
These new routes will provide additional international capacity, reduce dependence on a limited number of terrestrial crossings, and build resiliency in international connectivity.
But what's driving this reemergence of Mexican subsea?
Some pretty ominous headlines have been circulating around the world lately regarding the risk of a global recession and the ongoing threat of inflation.
At TeleGeography, we've received several questions about how these economic indicators could impact the submarine cable industry.
In particular, people are curious to know if slowing economic growth impair international bandwidth demand growth on subsea cables. And will inflation lead to rising international bandwidth prices?
A dollar doesn’t go very far these days. That is, unless you’re Cogent Communications, and in the market to buy Sprint’s fiber assets from T-Mobile.
This surprising story kicks off our latest list of recommended telecom reads.
New presentation alert.
Research Analyst Marvin Tan recently joined Ciena and Hawaiki for a webinar highlighting trans-Pacific submarine network opportunities.
The trans-Atlantic submarine corridor was a hot topic when VP of Research Tim Stronge joined Ciena for a live presentation back in June.
Now it's time to shift our attention to the trans-Pacific. And Research Analyst Marvin Tan has just the data to share.
🎶 It’s electric!
You can’t see it (it’s electric!)
You gotta feel it (it’s electric!) 🎶
Our August list of telecom reading recs starts off with new legislation designed to speed up broadband rollouts by tapping into the U.S. electric grid.
Also on the docket? An update on Ukrainian connectivity and a trio of TeleGeography experts in the news.
Let's face it—there are a lot of definitions to memorize in the telecom space. And if you've ever racked your brain for what “MVNO” stands for on a Monday morning, you're not alone.
Here's a hot tip: there's a secret Telecom Glossary tucked away at the end of our free State of the Network Report.
Save it to your phone. Print it out and display it on your fridge. Or just keep reading to peruse the terms listed under A, B, and C.
Economies around the globe are facing sluggish growth prospects and rapidly escalating prices.
But have you considered what various macroeconomic indicators can tell us about the direction of the submarine cable industry?
TeleGeography Research Director Alan Mauldin has—and he'll be talking about it next month at Submarine Networks World.
With summer in full swing, things are heating up—literally.
Like data centers.
Our July list of recommended reads touches on overheating data centers in the UK, a massive broadband outage in Canada, new submarine cables coming to Africa, and more.
