We had a feeling that our expert team would deliver a winning discussion during our TeleGeography Deep Dive on internet middle mile.

And disappoint, they did not.

With middle mile emerging as one of the next major topics of interest for global enterprises, our event appropriately started with the explainer of all explainers on this new market segment. (And, yes, we recorded the overview for our readers who couldn't make the live event.)

If you've been following our recent posts on the topic, you've perhaps thought: "what is middle mile and why do I need to know about it?" If that sounds familiar, you might want to queue up this middle mile crash course.

In his presentation, Principal Analyst Erik Kreifeldt walks us through the middle mile provider proposition and thoughtfully illustrates the inner workings of this network segment.

Watch the full explainer below. (And if you want a closer look at the slides, you can download them here.)
