TeleGeography's metropolitan area networks report provides technical data and detailed maps on many network providers in major U.S. and European cities.

The TeleGeography, Inc. research consultancy tracks the global geography of submarine and satellite telecommunications infrastructure. They publish detailed maps, like this one.

TeleGeography's Global Internet Map 2006 shows the latest view of the internet's international infrastructure.

The map features:

* International internet bandwidth, scaled by capacity—covering backbones operated by more than 300 international Internet carriers as of mid-2005

* Detailed inset map showing intra-European internet bandwidth

* Charts including international internet bandwidth growth, internet traffic and capacity growth forecasts through 2008, Gigabit Ethernet IP price declines, and interregional internet bandwidth

* Countries color-coded to show international internet bandwidth

* Dialing codes and internet domains for every country in the world

* Country tags color-coded according to host density (Internet hosts per 10,000 people)

TeleGeography has produced arguably the best flows maps of the Net thus far, based on the volume of international telephone traffic between nations. Below is an example of one of their handcrafted telecommunications traffic flow maps for the European region.

The map shows countries with traffic flows between them represented as smoothly curving red lines. The thickness of the lines is proportional to the annual volume of traffic between those two countries, measured in millions of minutes of voice telecommunication. (Note: only the principal route pairs, above a set threshold, are shown, to avoid cluttering the map.) Circular symbols, located on the capital city, encode the country's total annual outgoing traffic to all other countries. It is clear from the map that the UK, Germany, and France dominate traffic intra-European flows, forming a powerful triangle at the heart of the continent.
