## Resource

Episode 72 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo explores why Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are investing billions in private long-haul fiber networks. Lucas and Luna break down the specific cost savings and performance gains — citing data on latency reduction and bandwidth pricing — and how this shifts leverage away from traditional telecom carriers. They also examine the geopolitical tensions around subsea cable routes and what it means for enterprise cloud architecture in 2026. #CloudComputing #FiberNetworks #AWS #Azure #GCP #SubseaCables #Latency #Bandwidth #Telecom #Infrastructure #Hyperscaler #DataCenters #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CloudInfrastructure #Networking #DigitalInfrastructure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
