Don't miss our Giuseppe Valentino on 26 April at 11:00 am (CET). He will take part to the panel "Panel: Peering: The pursuit for interconnectivity and low latency" about the importance of peering that has arguably been never greater as the rise of high-definition video and other content during the pandemic has put greater emphasis on low latency times and higher quality.
We will look at aspects of the peering market, including whether there is great need for IXPs to better interconnect with each other.
In recent times, OTTs and hyperscalers have been driving the evolution of finance models for new submarine cable systems, in collaboration with specialist partners. While the Covid-19 pandemic has caused bandwidth use to jump, amid a rush for buying more submarine cables and provide more interconnection with the likes of cloud service providers. In the midst of high competition, is the consortium model still viable today or will there be any other shifts in ownership structures?
Let's discuss about the scenario with our Daniele Mancuso, Chief Product Management, who will take part to panel "Do subsea ownership models need a rethink?" on 10 May at 11:00 am (CET).
