610: What You Need to Know About Network as a Service in 2025

Welcome back, TeleGeography Explains the Internet listeners. We took a nice long break for the holidays, and we've returned refreshed with another batch of telecom conversations for your feed.

Our first guest of 2025 is Fahim Sabir, Director of Digital Solutions at Colt.

Fahim joined us to clarify the often confusing world of Network as a Service (NaaS). As you know, our whole deal is explaining the internet, so we started by discussing Fahim's definition of NaaS and a breakdown of why it's important in the market right now. 

We also discuss the back end, examining what the carrier ecosystem still needs to accomplish to make customer-facing NaaS a full reality.
