Telecommunications & Connectivity Sector
From connectivity to platform. Telecom operators are being squeezed between infrastructure and software — and must choose where in the stack they actually create value.
5G and fiber investment, hyperscaler competition, edge and cloud, AI, regulatory pressure, and declining traditional revenues are reshaping the telecom business model.
