This podcast has hit a major milestone—the 100th episode! Can you believe it? Did you know that only 7% of all podcasts make it to this number?
We've talked cloud, crushed myths, and pushed boundaries for 100 straight. But we're just getting started. I’ve dropped an episode every two weeks over the last four years, and during that time I've witnessed a dramatic shift in telcos’ attitude towards public cloud adoption. This special episode revisits key moments on the journey that highlight just how far we've come. Let’s celebrate the progress we've made together! Listen now to hear:
- How sentiment about the public cloud has moved from deeply skeptical to optimistic [02:59];
- The groundbreaking moves made by major telcos like DISH, AT&T and Telefónica Germany [08:48];
- Why moving network workloads may be the key to true public cloud transformation [13:29]
- How Totogi deployed a cloud-based charging system for a tier-one telco in crisis—in just 18 days! [14:16]
Be sure to listen to the end for the super funny DR BLOOPER REEL!

- While a lot of telcos are still ramping up their efforts to get to the public cloud, my buddy Elon Musk has his sights set on Mars and plans to get there in just two years! Check out this Starship launch, the fourth flight test attempting to go farther than any previous one.
