In November, we unveiled our new Market Connectivity Score (MCS) and dropped our first public rankings of the top ten most connected and fastest-growing cities in the world. Because we update the MCS quarterly, it's time to see how those rankings have changed.

Ah, São Paulo. A critical market for Latin American connectivity (just ask our Market Connectivity Score), and the perfect location for Capacity LATAM 2025. This year’s conference—held March 18-19—will feature our own Peter Wood as chairperson of a cable-focused panel session:

The international voice market's trajectory is an inexorable downward spiral, and “over-the-top” (OTT) communications services are most certainly the main culprit.

Happy holidays, TeleGeography Explains the Internet listeners. We hope you're savoring the brief week between Christmas and New Year's when the world takes a moment to pause and reflect. School is out, schedules are topsy-turvy, and cookies are acceptable for breakfast. Perhaps like some of us, you've lost track of movies watched and presents wrapped. If you're looking to take a break between the winter gatherings, grab some headphones. We've got you covered for an hour or so.

With February right around the corner, many of us are gearing up to celebrate 20 years of Capacity Middle East. The 2025 conference—held February 4-6 in Dubai—will tackle big topics like how the Middle East is preparing for AI, and how the industry recovered from February’s Red Sea cable cuts. TeleGeography’s Paul Brodsky will lead a panel focused on the latter, looking back at the immediate implications of the cuts, and how different parties rerouted.

What do you envision when you think of data in motion? It's a beautiful, abstract idea.

Last month, I had the pleasure of speaking at Cairo ICT about colocation and connectivity trends. I covered global bandwidth first, followed by a rundown on bandwidth in the Middle East and Africa. Next up, data centers and interconnection hubs, with a discussion on where the hubs are, what makes a hub, and how hubs grow. Finally, I talked about end-user demand, which is very important with the growth of internet and demand. You can catch a video of this presentation and download my slides below.

For TeleGeography Explains the Internet to truly explain the internet, sometimes we have to get into where your internet comes from. Internet sourcing for those in the know.
