Prepare to navigate the ever-shifting seas of network infrastructure with us as we chart a course through the recently announced partnership between Frontier Communications and Nile's network-as-a-service. We're unboxing the mechanics behind Nile's service model and assessing how this alliance could revolutionize the managed service realm for enterprises and MSPs. If you're mulling over an agile networking solution that's managed with precision, you won't want to miss this in-depth analysis of what this collaboration means for the industry.
Our journey doesn't end there; we're also sizing up the cloud service expansion race with Equinix's new Fabric Cloud Router. By placing it side-by-side with competitors like Megaport, we uncover the hidden intricacies and potential costs that come with scaling cloud capabilities. And for a twist, we spotlight Google Cloud's dance with Huggingface in a partnership that could potentially transform AI development, offering a communal playground for innovation that could be the next GitHub for machine learning pros.
Finally, we cast an analytical lens on the Biden administration's latest chess move in international tech policy, aiming to restrict China's leverage of American computing might for AI development. We'll unravel the threads of 'Know Your Customer' regulations and their potential impact on the titans of tech, from AWS to Azure. Wrapping up, we decode a recent Isovalent blog post, heralding a new chapter for service mesh technologies in network engineering. Stay tuned for a riveting wrap-up as we preview what's on the horizon for our next episode's enlightening discourse.

Makes sense for Frontier to work with existing accounts and extend into the campus. They already have people that go on-site and they're familiar/trusted. So, handing over some of burden of managing a network to them and Nile is smart. It allows the IT team to quarterback versus performing upgrades, tuning a config all night, replacing broken cables, etc.
