▪ Telecom operators, leveraging their assets can address a much larger share of the mega-trend ‘digitalization of the industry’ that they have historically enabled but let others monetize.
▪ Become part of the client’s value chain to capture a larger share of B2B2X segment, originally created by IT companies :
USD 276bn (8% of global ICT spending) by 2020, one of the fastest-growth fields for telcos. (Source Arthur D Little Industry Report 2016: Major strategic choices ahead for Telcos: Reconfiguring for value.)
▪ Standards to interconnect business operations with other CSPs and ecosystem partners - not just network and services
