Unique view of the International networks that link the globe

Some of you are often asking me where do we get the data for our analyses. In most of the cases we count on our base and knowledge centre professionals. However, there are some external sources that “inspire” and help us with outstanding Telecom data. This is the case of TeleGeography (a division of PriMetrica, Inc) that offers individual and enterprise subscriptions to online databases and reports on subjects ranging from wireless carrier competition to global Internet backbone traffic.

I wanted to share one of the most stunning maps I’ve recently seen related to the telecom indystry. TeleGeography draws a Global Internet Map upon their annual Global Internet Geography research to provide a unique view of the international Internet networks that link the globe. The map‘s global projection traces the intercontinental links between the countries of Europe, Asia, North and Latin America, and Africa. Regional close-ups provide insight into key routes within each region. Nine accompanying figures and tables present valuable data on Internet bandwidth by country, regional and global Internet capacity growth, backbone providers, traffic by application, wholesale pricing, and broadband user growth.
