As we close out 2025, “TBR Talks” host Patrick Heffernan and producer and TBR Marketing Coordinator & Account Executive Haley Demers sit down for a candid, end-of-year retrospective and a sneak peek at what listeners can expect in the new year.

Additionally, the pair unpacks the podcast’s growth, with nearly half of this season’s conversations featuring voices from outside TBR, and shares a behind-the-scenes breakdown of the show. They also discuss how those external perspectives have broadened the scope of the dialogue, how the show has evolved as listeners began reaching out proactively to participate, and the unexpected value that emerged when technology-focused discussions turned personal.

How accurate were TBR’s 2025 predictions for cloud and telecom markets?

In this episode of “TBR Talks,” Principal Analyst and Host Patrick Heffernan reviews TBR’s 2025 telecom and cloud predictions against the year’s actual market developments as well as what these developments mean for our 2026 predictions in an age of AI-enabled research and analysis.

Last year Principal Analyst Chris Antlitz predicted major communication service providers would not realize ROI from 5G investments, which they did not, while Principal Analyst Allan Krans predicted Microsoft Azure would close the gap with Amazon Web Services in the IaaS market, which it did. Patrick walks listeners through each leading analyst’s process for making predictions and discusses with them how AI has and has not changed the way they go about making their market predictions.
