Tony O’Sullivan at NLNOG 2025: Hardwired for Chaos
On 30 September, RETN CEO Tony O’Sullivan took the stage at NLNOG Day 2025 with a refreshingly direct message to the telecoms industry: it’s time to stop hiding behind buzzwords and start building infrastructure that actually lasts.
“Everyone says they’re resilient. Until they’re not.”
In his keynote, Hardwired for Chaos - The No-Bullsh*t Way to Build Infrastructure That Lasts, Tony challenged conventional thinking on network resilience and shared lessons from RETN’s real-world experience operating one of the most extensive cross-border networks in Eurasia.
Key takeaways from his talk:
- Surviving cable cuts in Taiwan, the Red Sea, and Ukraine
- Why redundancy isn’t optional – it’s an obligation
- How to scale lean, sustainable infrastructure across 44 countries
- Why legacy thinking remains the industry’s biggest vulnerability
