Extended Preamble: The New Geography of Remote Work, Cloud Imperatives, and the Search for New Revenue Streams In a recent roundtable discussion relocated to picturesque Colorado, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) convened to address a challenging terrain not just geographically but also technologically. This was more than a meeting; it was a summit at the intersection of urgent needs and innovative solutions. In places like Steamboat Springs, where fiber is still creeping its way through the community, bandwidth isn't just an issue; it's a chokepoint. The traditional asymmetry in networks—like a 600 Mbps download and a mere 35 Mbps upload—no longer suits our transformed work landscape. In the world of remote work, what used to be a ‘download’ at the office becomes an ‘upload’ at home. This mismatch is driving MSPs to speed up their cloud migration processes to better serve their clients. But this i
