Summary
TeleGeography provides global telecommunications data and research, including information on telecommunications infrastructure, broadband markets, submarine cables, network pricing, and traffic patterns. The Office of Policy and International Affairs (OPIA) supports a range of initiatives, including data center policy, submarine cable policy, and Team Telecom activities. Access to TeleGeography’s Data Center Research Service, Transport Networks Research Service, and IP Transit Database, and integration of these resources into OPIA’s workflow, would provide staff with verified, up-to-date information that enhances the quality of reports, analysis, policy development, and policy refinement produced by the office.
