With a new normal of hybrid work established, trends in network services are once again changing. But unlike the shifts we saw in 2020, this time trends are fueled by technology and innovation—not huge outside forces like a global pandemic.
The geographic coverage of carriers’ enterprise network services varies significantly.
Not every carrier connects to every city in their customers’ networks, and not all services are available everywhere.
When narrowing down the universe of potential suppliers, enterprises must first consider how their geographic requirements overlap a potential service provider’s physical network. They then must determine if the specific data services they require are enabled at each of the service providers’ PoPs.
The WAN Services Coverage analysis—one section of our Cloud and WAN Research—examines carrier network connectivity and service availability from a geographic perspective.

Last week, we wrapped up a five-part podcast special that literally explains how the internet works.
This series describes precisely how data moves around the world, covering the basics of internet, transport networks, data centers, the cloud, and WAN along the way.
At the end of each episode, I thought it would be fun to relate what we talked about to a real world example: the lifecycle of a YouTube video.
To paint the full picture, I've compiled each piece of the story here. Keep reading to find out how a video goes from one camera to millions of screens around the world.

Today on TeleGeography Explains the Internet, we're asking the big questions about mobile advertising.
In a recent interview with Asian Telecom, I was asked to shed light on Asia’s prominence in global cloud services. More specifically, why are data centers and cloud services expanding so rapidly in Asia?
As population density increases, there is a natural surge in data consumption, like cloud services. So it makes sense that Asia—home to 60% of the world’s population—has a growing demand for data centers.
But that's not the only catalyst here, and there are numerous advantages to having data centers clustered across Asia.
Live from Ohio, it's Tuesday night. We're sneaking in a LIVE episode of TeleGeography Explains the Internet this week.
Tuesday is podcast day here at TeleGeography. This time, we welcome William Collins, the Principal Cloud Architect at Alkira.
If the subject of this blog didn't totally give it away, today's episode is focused on the cloud. I asked William to talk us through the history of enterprise cloud and highlight a few of the more significant issues in enterprise cloud networking today. His answers might surprise you.
