Telcos must adapt to virtualisation and changing customer needs in the Coordination Age. Our three new telecoms business models offer a realistic agenda for telcos to build up the stack into the IT layer – either by themselves or through partnerships.
The origins and path of the innovative Finnish operator’s successful new proposition for the manufacturing industry in the Coordination Age.
Autonomous networks are still many years away, but AI-supported automation is a reality now, which all telcos must master to survive. What steps must telcos take to implement AI in network maintenance, optimisation and planning, and what is it worth?
Our research focuses on how telcos and their partners can embrace industry disruption.
