Send us Fan Mail Two competitors deciding to stop fighting and build together always raises one question: what changes for the customers the next morning. We start with the BT and Verizon International joint venture and dig into what a shared global network footprint could mean across SD-WAN, MPLS, Ethernet and cloud connectivity, including the uncomfortable parts like orchestration changes, duplicated POPs and the possibility of forced migrations. If you run global sites, this is the kind of...

Send us Fan Mail A seasoned cybersecurity engineer with a federal background, an active network, and a clearance should not have to fire off 200 to 300 applications to get hired. Yet that’s exactly what happened to Spud, and the story exposes how broken tech hiring and cybersecurity recruiting have become in the post-layoff market. We walk through what it feels like to go from protecting critical systems to months of unemployment, repeated ghosting, and interview loops that never close. We t...

Send us Fan Mail AI isn’t just changing software. It’s changing laws, infrastructure, and the day-to-day reality of work, and California is becoming one of the clearest previews of what comes next. We dig into a flurry of new California AI regulations aimed at worker rights and accountability, from requiring human review when AI influences disciplinary action or termination decisions to increasing transparency when layoffs are linked to automation. We also talk privacy, including why “surveil...

Send us Fan Mail Agentic AI is changing what “normal” traffic looks like, and that forces a hard question: if most connections are workloads talking to workloads, why are we still designing network security around users accessing apps? We bring on Dan Sheldon (CEO) and Paul Carvill (CTO) to unpack their answer: Ephemeral Virtual Access (EVA), a just-in-time approach to cloud networking that creates encrypted connectivity only when a task has validated intent, then tears it down before it beco...

Send us Fan Mail AWS and Azure just did the thing everyone argued would never happen: a managed, first party multi-cloud interconnect between the two biggest cloud platforms. We break down what’s actually new here, what’s simply being productized, and why this matters for enterprise cloud networking, identity driven architectures, and outage aware design. We also talk honestly about the current limitations and where high throughput connectivity still depends on ExpressRoute, Direct Connect, a...

Send us Fan Mail Space internet is no longer a science project, and the gap between “cool demo” and “usable enterprise transport” is closing fast. We sit down with Tom Kunath from Cisco to unpack what’s actually happening behind the hype: low Earth orbit constellations that hand off satellites every few seconds, improving latency that can land in the tens of milliseconds, and the messy networking realities that show up as loss, jitter, and unexpected performance drops. We walk through the mu...
