Webinar – New trends in telecoms, media and technology: Succeeding in the coordination age
What is the coordination age and how can telcos adapt their businesses to it?
First broadcast: 12 February 2019
In this webinar, we looked at trends and challenges for the sector for the next few years.
Changes are afoot in the global digital economy, arising from a combination of developments in both demand and supply. In terms of demand, there are pressing needs from all customers to make less do more. On the supply side, technologies like AI, automation, NFV/SDN, and potentially 5G, provide a smarter and more flexible way to make stuff happen.
The consequence is that “coordination” is becoming a more pressing need across many market areas. In the second part of this webinar, we explored how telcos can help address this need in two sectors, smart homes and healthcare.
