Scott Robohn joins us to explore how industrial engineering concepts—like workflow design, systems thinking, and Edward Deming’s principles—can bring clarity, structure, and efficiency to modern network operations.

In this Telemetry News Now episode, Phil Gervasi and Justin Ryburn break down OpenAI’s release of GPT 4.1 and its real-world use cases, major Google Cloud partnerships with Cisco and Juniper, Broadcom’s predictive security feature, Amazon’s Project Kuiper, and shifting global dynamics in chip manufacturing.

In this episode, Christian von der Ropp joins us for a deep dive into the 12-year effort to connect St Helena via submarine cable, the rise of LEO satellite networks, and how infrastructure and policy intersect to bring modern internet to the world’s most remote regions.

In this news episode, Phil Gervasi and Justin Ryburn cover some of the latest tech headlines, such as Starlink entering the service provider space with Community Gateways, OpenAI raising $40 billion for AGI development, Comcast acquiring Nitel to expand its channel distribution strategy, and AWS announcing support for VPC route server running BGP. Tune in for the latest news and a quick roundup of upcoming network industry events.

In this episode of Telemetry Now, we explore why AI workloads require a fundamentally different approach to data center networking. From Ethernet vs. InfiniBand to mitigating issues with packet loss, latency, and link flapping, along with emerging standards from the Ultra Ethernet Consortium, we unpack the technologies reshaping how AI infrastructure is built.

In this episode, Phillip Gervasi and Ryan Booth dive into "vibe coding"—a new AI-assisted approach where LLMs generate code from natural language descriptions. Inspired by Andrej Karpathy’s vision, vibe coding streamlines development but raises questions about debugging, best practices, and the future of software engineering.

In this Telemetry News Now episode, hosts Phil Gervasi and Justin Ryburn discuss Microsoft's decision to shut down Skype after more than two decades, explore TSMC's massive $165 billion investment to expand semiconductor manufacturing in the US, and talk about the latest AI trends and strategic partnerships emerging from Mobile World Congress. They also highlight Starlink's ongoing efforts to expand connectivity in India and a roundup of upcoming network industry events.

Host Philip Gervasi sits down with Walid Mathlouthi, head of the Infrastructure Division at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), to explore how this 160-year-old United Nations agency shapes global connectivity. Walid shares insights from his remarkable journey, spanning groundbreaking research in optics, impactful roles at AT&T and Google Fiber, and now leading global initiatives at the ITU. We discuss how the ITU manages critical spectrum and satellite resources, tackles challenges like cross-border interference, and spearheads ambitious efforts like the Giga project to connect underserved communities worldwide.

In this Telemetry News Now episode, special guest Scott Robohn joins us to discuss Broadcom’s interest in Intel, Cisco’s AI partnership with NVIDIA, the Stargate AI data center initiative, and the future of vendor-neutral certifications. Plus, is AI-driven search changing how we find information? Tune in for the latest tech insights.

Jason Gintert and Chris Kane of the US Networking User Association join Telemetry Now host Phil Gervasi to discuss the origins, mission, and future of the (US)NUA, the grassroots organization bringing network engineers and technologists of all stripes together through local meetups around the country. Learn what goes on at the local user groups, why in-person networking matters, where to find a meetup near you, and how you can get involved.
