Welcome back, TeleGeography Explains the Internet listeners. We took a nice long break for the holidays, and we've returned refreshed with another batch of telecom conversations for your feed. Our first guest of 2025 is Fahim Sabir, Director of Digital Solutions at Colt.

The European telecommunications market has been a global trailblazer in terms of innovation, affordability of service, and infrastructure deployment.
