AT&T Texas' Collocation Filings Are a Reminder: Regulated Interconnection Is Shrinking, While Neutral Collocation Keeps Winning

Olga Yashkova — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

AT&T Texas' September 2026 filing of conformed interconnection agreements (IAs) with competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), including Wide Voice LLC, Comcell Inc., YMax Communications Corp., and Syntrio Solutions LLC, reflects routine compliance with Telecom Act obligations for legacy voice carriers rather than any broadening of the local exchange market. Meanwhile, most of the interconnection growth in 2026 is occurring elsewhere: Enterprises and cloud providers are leasing market-priced space in carrier-neutral facilities operated by Equinix, Digital Realty, and CyrusOne to support AI inference and cloud on-ramps, and that demand is outpacing available power.

Market Analysis Perspective: U.S. Small and Medium-Sized Business Communications Services, 2026

Daniela Rao — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Analysis Perspective provides insight into the current and future state of the small and medium-sized communications services market. It includes an overview of the current market landscape, technology leader perspective, a market outlook, and IDC's advice for technology suppliers in this market.

Although the digital maturity of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) continues to improve, the segment's sheer size, industry fragmentation, and diverse business needs make it one of the most challenging markets for telecommunications providers to drive sustainable revenue and profit growth.

Today, as hybrid work has become the norm and economic uncertainty continues to increase pressure on operating costs, SMBs are placing greater expectations on telecommunications providers for scalable, cloud-based, and cost-effective solutions that enable seamless communications, operational agility, and business continuity.

Optimized high-speed internet, mobile data plans, reliability, and seamless convergence bundles are reshaping the telecom providers' competitive strategies and tactics as the primary catalysts of the SMB service portfolio innovation.

Market Forecast: Worldwide PC Forecast Update, 2026–2030 — 2Q26

Bryan Ma — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC presentation provides the five-year forecast for the PC market and delivers insights into the drivers and inhibitors of growth.

"Our 2026 forecast for PC shipments is relatively unchanged this cycle, with a -11.3% drop still expected this year. But the recovery on the other side is not as strong as before, with 2027 growth reduced from flat to a -4.1% drop instead. High memory prices remain a headwind in the market in the upcoming years." — Bryan Ma, vice president, Client Devices, IDC.

In light of the growth of AI experiences, features, and workloads, this feels like the right product at the right time. However, getting to mainstream adoption requires crossing a chasm that's fraught with Microsoft partners, channels, and programs.
