#Telegeography blogged about the expansion of #Starlink and how it conquers markets where conventional cabling fall short.

On the one hand, it's great to see increased connectivity in those areas, on the other hand, I am a bit concerned that a single legal entity has so much power about so many nations and their citizens.

#Telegeography estimates the global international #routing #bandwidth to be at around 5Pbps. The largest growing market is #Africa with a compound annual growth of almost 50% between 2019 to 2023. Great to see how they are slowly catching up and having more growth than any other region globally. The global average lies somewhere between 35-40%.

Furthermore, they show how some hyper-giant cloud and content providers having the lion's share of sub-nautical bandwidth.

A brief, but very interesting read I recommend to everyone!

“Did you know that the internet is held together by a network of undersea cables? And did you also know that these cables can trace their origin back to 1850s? What has and hasn’t changed in the last 150 years may surprise you.
