I talked to the company deploying the solution a couple of days ago. 

This would be a good time to get any transport upgrades going. Some of the traffic numbers are large and 100g transport gear is running 6 months lead time.

While I haven’t gotten that specific email from them, I’ve gotten several Telegeography emails since 2012.  They are referenced by Light Reading Daily quite a bit.  They *seem* to be a legit research firm contracted by multiple companies.

 

The Amazon / TNF partnership is a real deal….and MICE needs to be prepared for a potential uptick in traffic on Thursdays.

Has anyone else gotten an email like this?

 

On the surface it seems legit, and I always like the opportunity to talk about MICE, but I’m not sure how I feel about sharing such info...

 

Thanks in advance,

Anthony

Hi David and Anthony,

 

I am a telecoms analyst with TeleGeography in Washington, DC. We have been contracted by Amazon Prime Video (APV) to survey ISPs across the country in preparation for Prime Video’s exclusive presentation of NFL Thursday Night Football (TNF) starting with the 2022 NFL season.

The attached letter from Amazon Prime Video provides more detail about their network planning initiative.

To help avoid congestion on your network during upcoming games, Amazon is asking us to query you so that they may better understand your network point(s) of contact, service coverage area, CDN provider(s), IP Transit provider(s), etc. 

 

Are you the correct contact person within your network operations team to respond to these questions? If not, can you please direct me to the right person within your network operations team?

 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email or let me know if you would like to set up a call with me. 

Thank you so much for your cooperation.
