609: A Telecom Year in Review
Happy holidays, TeleGeography Explains the Internet listeners. As the year ends, a few teammates joined us on the podcast to review the major telecom events of the past 12 months and chat about what we might anticipate in 2025. Some highlights 👇 Analyst Lane Burdette joins the show to review some of the most headline-grabbing trends we saw in the submarine cable world. While cables keep the continents connected, Principal Analyst Patrick Christian got on the mic to discuss one of the key reasons for that connectivity demand: cloud services. Of course, underlying the cloud are the data centers. For that conversation, we welcomed back Senior Manager Jon Hjembo after recently explaining our new Market Connectivity Score a few weeks back. When it came to enterprise networks in 2024, it was hard to have a conversation that didn’t involve NaaS and security, specifically SASE. To talk about the real trends surrounding the buzzwords, we had to call on Research Manager Brianna Boudreau. So many of these conversations are underpinned by the transport network. To chat about the cost of sending bits around that global network, we were thrilled to welcome Research Director Rob Schult to tell us what was noteworthy in the world of telecom pricing in 2024.

607: Internet Sourcing, as Explained by an Internet Aggregator
To truly explain the internet, sometimes we have to get into where your internet comes from. For that, our guest today is Rutger Bevaart, CEO and Co-founder of GNX. As you'll hear, Rutger has a deep history in the telecom industry and founded GNX to streamline internet sourcing, which is undoubtedly a pain point for many listeners. We discuss the shift away from MPLS and toward the internet and how that transition can bring many benefits to an enterprise; however, it also comes with complexity and new challenges, especially in sourcing and managing internet links worldwide.

606: When Networking and Security Collide
There's a common theme we encounter here at TeleGeography Explains the Internet. It goes like this: the enterprise WAN has undergone significant changes in the past several years to align the network with digital transformation, cloud adoption, rising bandwidths, and cost control. These changes—while making the network more resilient and affordable—can introduce new challenges in complexity and management. Our guest today is Marcel Stadler, Product Manager of SD-WAN at Open Systems. Marcel joins our semi-annual conversation on this landscape; he outlines how managed SD-WAN providers like Open Systems approach these issues with their enterprise customers. (Yes, we chat about SASE and integrating security into an SD-WAN because we know what the listeners want.)

605: A Guide to Calculating the World's Next Interconnectivity Hub (According to You)
Where are we building data centers? Why? What markets are primed for interconnectivity glory? Which ones are getting left in the dust? We've heard these questions again and again. So we did what any reasonable telecom data provider would do: we developed an interactive tool to rank the world's best-connected and fastest-growing cities, scored on a scale of 0-100 across nine key categories. This week's guest on TeleGeography Explains the Internet is our resident data center expert Jon Hjembo. He walks us through how (and why!) we developed the Market Connectivity Score and reveals what initial rankings tell us about the interconnectivity landscape and metro areas to watch like Kuala Lumpur.
