Description
Denver’s telecommunications landscape has evolved from its 19th-century telegraph roots to a key hub for digital infrastructure. Early telephone networks, led by the Colorado Telephone Company and later Mountain Bell, shaped regional communication, while the rise of cable giants like Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI) made Denver a major player in the cable industry. Today, the city hosts a thriving peering scene with IX-Denver and CoreSite’s Any2Denver enabling significant BGP interconnection. These exchanges enhance network performance, reduce latency, and lower transit costs; with growing adoption of IPv6 and robust RPKI validation practices supporting the region’s expanding digital demands.
