  • CityFibre completes one of its many UK fibre builds
  • Rakuten finds another application for its telco platform (its own people skills)
  • DASAN Zhone Solutions or “DZS” has appointed Charlie Vogt

Enjoy today's concise Monday meanderings. Short but perfectly formed

UK fibre layer, CityFibre, has announced that one of its Gigabit City builds has actually completed after 18 months’ work.

CityFibre says it’s committed to extend the network to reach 2,500 to additional premises, bringing its investment in Stirling to over £12m.

DASAN Zhone Solutions or “DZS” has appointed Charlie Vogt as president, CEO and director effective August 1.

Heavy cloud forecast: According to Forbes 32% of IT budgets will be dedicated to ‘the Cloud’ by 2021, which sounds about right.  Other tidbits... a full 13 per cent of enterprises with over 1000 employees have already migrated their entire IT environment to the cloud as of today and in 18 months it predicts that figure will rise to 22 per cent.
