 back to JSA TV. Jamie thank you so very much for inviting me. It's always an honor to be here with you at JSA TV. Thank you and thank you for speaking today. You're in state on streaming media, opportunities, demands, always amazing and you really bring that that sub-C perspective to the table. Thank you so much. No thank you for inviting me. It was a lot of fun and I think that we've heard from different people, different participants in the value chain, their perspective of what's coming and it's exciting times for anybody in the space. Yeah it really is. It really is in 2020s. Game Buster. Can't wait. So let's get back to 2019 and how you guys have been tearing it up. I think it's seven awards in total that you've won just this year alone. Is that crazy? That is amazing and I'm so proud of the Globe and a team. The fact that in different venues we're being recognized for the quality of our work, the service that we deliver, the innovation that we have put into the market, it's great. So we're actually honored to have received those awards. Well I mean it's it's clearly deserved. I think the entire industry would join me in saying that. You of course have Malbec, not just a fabulous wine maybe you say, but GlobeNet's new 2,500 kilometer sub-C cable to Argentina with Facebook. So recently you guys won Best America's Project for Malbec. Tell us a little bit more about that. Well we did. I think the idea of Malbec is not new. It's how we're implementing. I think that that is great. We're in a joint build agreement with Facebook and it's all about partnerships right and part of our DNA at GlobeNet is to embrace partnerships and this is a great example of what you can actually do. It's a fun project. It actually completes a vision that we've had for many years to be able to extend the network into Argentina. You may recall that we did something similar back in 2013 where we extended our network to Colombia and we're in the middle of the actual construction cycle. We're gonna start laying early next year. So around mid 2020 we're gonna land the first cable in Argentina after some you know since the early 2000s so it's been over 20 years right. Yeah it's very very cool. Alright so I also hear that your infrastructure value pain if you will. Can you tell us about some projects we might see soon? Sure so let me tell you first about some of the other things that we're doing that have helped us win some of these accolades. In our Fortaleza facility which has been with us since the let's say the Genesis of GlobeNet we've actually converted a dual cable lining station into a true carrier-neutral interconnect facility and I think what what has set us apart let's say from others that have tried is really that neutrality right being carrier-friendly every single local provider is in our facility and the fact that we built a partnership again and this time with IXPR to deploy to deploy it in our facility in Fortaleza made a huge difference. Northern Brazil has been one of the fastest growing areas in Brazil from an economic perspective. There's a series of new network providers that have emerged over the last let's say five or ten years but mainly over the last five and we have them all as our customers and partners in the facility right and again it's this model of you know being carrier-neutral being carrier-friendly setting the right the right goals in where we said look this is what we're gonna do this is how you're gonna interconnect it's clear to everybody that wants to come in and we're lucky that we have several major content providers that have also selected a facility to have a pop there just because of that right so I think that's that's another example how we're going from your traditional let's say subsea service provider right international subsea server provider to look at you know what's next you know how do I grow that value chain how do I leverage the assets that I have and how do I leverage our origins of an infrastructure company right the other thing that that we did is we built a small-scale data center in Barranquilla in Columbia and so that that was our genesis to look at the data center space right where we see that that having that neutrality is important and and we are definitely looking at that space as a growth area for the company it's the neutrality but it's also having clear set rules right this is how you're gonna interconnect this is where you're gonna interconnect not hey let's be creative and just you know hook up in the in the beach man or the manhole not the beach manhole the manhole no it's but to say you're gonna come in here you're gonna set you know put your wrap here your rack here this is you know the cost for your cross-connect all that stuff needs to be clear and then you start attracting people because you're you're fair you're neutral right oh absolutely and that's why I mean we've converted Fortaleza into a major network interconnect hub for the region so all right so looking forward to the new year what is ahead in 2020 2020 for us is a very important year I mean we already mentioned my back the landing of a new cable into new geography into a new country that in itself is right so so that's let's say our number one milestone for 2020 mid 2020 so complete let's say our landing right but but beyond that I do believe that there's other things that we're working on we continue to do network upgrades throughout our system we continue to establish further partnerships you may recall that years ago you know we we looked outside the box and we said or thought outside the box and said how can we service Manaus and for that we also got an award many years ago that you may recall and so we're looking at similar regions I'll disclose them at the right time right where we're extending network services again through partnerships I think it's a combination and it's really part of our DNA that we've had for years as you partner with threshold providers you partner with service providers you partner let's say with OTT such as Facebook and you're building that ecosystem that makes it attractive for other to want to be there absolutely and that's what we're working on so globe net 2020 another year of more growth for you I'm so excited Eric as always and I'm so proud of our team and I thank our customers for entrusting in our network their services it's all about that it really is thank you so much for joining us and being here thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV happy networking
