Connectivity in Baltic Countries, a Research based on RIS and RIPE Atlas

Alex Semenyaka, Senior Community Development Officer-Technical Advisor, RIPE NCC

Recent research reveals a surprising truth: data traveling between neighboring Baltic countries often takes massive hidden detours. This invisible reliance on distant transit providers makes regional connectivity unexpectedly fragile. We will uncover the scale of these roundabouts and discuss how the local telecom community can optimise local connectivity.
