Pricing & Enterprise Networks: What to Know for 2026

Welcome to the second episode in our three-part series catching up on the most interesting stories in telecom from 2025, and looking forward to what we expect in 2026. 

Today's episode focuses on all things pricing and enterprise networks. We're joined by Rob Schult, who leads TeleGeography's pricing practice, and Brianna Boudreau, who manages our SD-WAN and NaaS research.

These experts tackle questions like:

• Are we really seeing the most rare phenomenon – telecom pricing stability?
• What role is AI playing in this?
• Just how big are some backbone connections and how do those prices relate to lower sized circuits?
• Has SD-WAN become the norm in the enterprise networks world?
• Which SD-WAN players are left? Is SD-WAN mostly about security now?
