Dennis Thankachan, Co-Founder and CEO of Lightyear (https://lightyear.ai/), is back on the pod.
We discuss Lightyear's State of Connectivity Report (https://lightyear.ai/ebooks/lightyears-state-of-connectivity-2025), which dovetails with the topics we research here at TeleGeography. It may be a perfect companion to our State of the Network effort. (https://www2.telegeography.com/download-state-of-the-network)

Our next guest is Fahim Sabir, Director of Digital Solutions at Colt.
What is NaaS? Fahim joined us to clarify the often confusing world of Network as a Service (NaaS). We discuss Fahim's definition of NaaS and a breakdown of why it's important in the market. We also discuss the back end, examining what the carrier ecosystem needs to accomplish to make customer-facing NaaS a reality.

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 š
āļøāš„ Analyst Lane Burdette joins the show to review some of the most headline-grabbing trends (https://blog.telegeography.com/what-to-know-about-submarine-cable-breaks) we saw in the submarine cable world.
āļø 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.
š Of course, data centers underpin the cloud. For that conversation, we welcomed back Senior Manager Jon Hjembo after explaining our new Market Connectivity Score a few weeks ago (https://blog.telegeography.com/a-guide-to-calculating-the-worlds-next-interconnectivity-hub-according-to-you).
š When it came to enterprise networks in 2024, it was hard to have a conversation that didnāt involve NaaS and security (https://blog.telegeography.com/when-networking-and-security-collide), specifically SASE. To talk about the trends surrounding the buzzwords, we had to call on Research Manager Brianna Boudreau.
š 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.

Our guest today is Rutger Bevaart, CEO and Co-founder of GNX. 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.

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 repeatedly, 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, scoring them on a scale of 0 to 100 across nine key categories.
This week's guest is resident data center expert Jon Hjembo. He explains how 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.

How and where do networks meet and exchange traffic with each other? How do they access their destinations?
Senior Research Manager Jon Hjembo helps us understand data center types, their defining features, and what happens inside these facilities. We discussed who owns these structures and how their geography informs how the internet works.

What is the internet? Simply put, the internet is a network of computers.
Computers can only understand two things: on and off. Everything that we do on the internet is in binaryāa series of 1s and 0s representing on and offāwhich gives instructions to your computer to do all the amazing things it does.
This means that the very bottom of the internet is a system for sending those 1s and 0s over wires (or spectrum in some cases). Whatever you do on the internetāemail, videos, chatsāthe information is translated into that binary by your devices and then transmitted via packets.
We cover this process and lots more in the first episode of our five-part special to literally explain the internet:

Today we welcome Nokia's Paul Unbehagen to the pod.
Paul has a deep history in the networking world, so he approaches his role at NokiaāNE Americas CTOāfrom the perspective of a network engineer.
Although our main topics this week are enterprise cloud and right-sizing cloud utilization, we use those as a springboard into many topics circling the state of the network in 2023.
We touch on the history of the enterpriseās move into the cloud and why some companies have reevaluated their cloud strategy in recent years.
As it so often does, the geography of the cloud comes up, along with Paulās take on location and design in the cloud. This brings us to the edgeānot only what it means and where it is, but some of the new and exciting use cases of what edge computing facilitates.
Embedded in that conversation is also 5G and how mobile can push the network into being a central part of the business. And we canāt resist bringing up AI/ML.
