    AI Growth Zones and Data sovereignty: Whose cloud is it anyway?

    While the debate centres on where data is stored, how it moves is equally critical. In this episode, we join forces with our partners at Ciena to explore why the network layer is the missing piece of the sovereignty conversation, what sovereign networks look like in practice, and why the rise of AI is bringing new urgency to these discussions. We examine the impact of AI on data movement, infrastructure and compliance requirements, and discuss what UK organisations need to do now to ensure their networks are fit for an increasingly data-intensive and sovereignty-conscious future — before any gaps become costly to fix.

    We Need to Talk About Projects

    Projects (especially multisite ones) are where connectivity gets put to the test.

    Spilling the Connectivi-Tea on Diego Tedesco

    We kick off the podcast by getting to know Executive Director of Fixed Wholesale, Diego Tedesco – both on a personal level, and as a business leader.  In this episode, we get into the next phase of Virgin Media Business Wholesale and Diego’s vision for what’s next. But we also get personal: the career moments that mattered, the lessons learned along the way, and what leadership actually looks like day to day. What does it take to build and lead a business that sits at the heart of the next phase of the UK’s tech chapter?  And what does the man behind it all think of it all?
