TeleGeography experts Jon Hjembo and Patrick Christian answer our biggest questions about recent data center and AI booms.
In this final episode of our three-part pod series reviewing the year in telecom—and looking ahead to 2026—we cover:
- How many data center projects were we tracking in 2025? And where are they located around the world?
- What kind of constraints are those projects encountering, and are rumors of a bubble warranted?
- Did we see an increase or decrease in cloud region development?
- What is surprising about the geographic location of cloud development in 2025?
- Are CDNs still relevant in the hyperscaler dominated world?
- Is bandwidth demand really all that massive in the AI world?
