The 2017 global telecommunications study has been conducted by EY to monitor and evaluate the evolving views of leaders across the global telecommunications industry.
This latest survey forms part of EY’s ongoing series of global telecommunications studies.
I presented at a recent sales conference for a large security / IT solution provider on the evolution of the telco industry and the role security and protection plays in that evolution.
In summary: customer data, trust, security and protection are critical for operators to get right in this emerging environment.
Operators need an integrated security and protection layer, not point solutions for each service as is the case today. Protection from malware across all network services e.g. IP, SMS, MMS, WAP push, widgets, apps, etc. Protection in the network, in devices and in services.
SDP vendors need integrated security solution across network, services and end-points, which means a partnership with security / IT providers is key. Its a rapidly growing problem as its a highly profitable and more importantly safe criminal business compared to drugs smuggling or prostitution; hence a specialist security/protection partner is essential.

In May 2016, TIME Consulting has organized a public conference in collaboration with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC), Thailand to publish its research study on Ex-ante Broadcasting Market Competition in Thailand. The research reveals current market situation on 4 relevant markets subject to ex-ante regulations i.e. Retail Pay TV market, Wholesale DTT market, Wholesale cable market and Wholesale satellite market. In addition, TIME has analyzed the dominance power of big players in each market and their possibility to abuse the power. The outcomes will be used as key inputs for the NBTC to consider further actions required in order to regulate market competition.

Leading in the converged future becoming an agile telcoInfosys BPM
The convergence of networks, systems and devices is revolutionizing the communications industry. As technological progress redefines the marketplace, Communication Service Providers
(CSPs) or telecommunications companies (telcos) face a unique set of lucrative opportunities and momentous challenges. Developing economies are opening up to offer CSPs enormous untapped markets. At the same time, emerging players are providing stiff competition through
innovative and competitively priced offerings, taking customer expectations to new highs.
If CSPs are to win this game, they must closely engage with their customers while improving their service proposition. They need to work relentlessly toward reducing costs, improving profitability, becoming agile, and transforming the organization to keep pace with the changing paradigms of the world. This calls for increased operational efficiencies, integrated processes and rapid roll- out of novel and niche products in new geographies.
This paper outlines the four-pronged approach CSPs need to adopt to secure and maintain their leadership position in an industry hit by a tidal wave of change.
A 2004 report I wrote for a global handset manufacturer on how to survive in an over-the-top world. Whilst I didn't get everything right, and I would present it differently today, it was pretty insightful for its time.

Ngcn event info
1. Informa Telecoms & Media NGCN (Next Generation Core Networks) 30th-31st March, London
2. NGCN: A unique focus on the SAE/EPC We are excited to announce details of Informa’s ‘Next Generation Core Networks’ event, which will take place on 30th-31st March, 2011 in London. With the huge growth in smartphones and other emerging devices leveraging new networks and services, the multimedia core network is a critical element in the delivery of next generation broadband services. Building on the huge success of the LTE series by Informa Telecoms and Media, the NGCN will offer a focused and unique insight into the opportunities of the SAE/EPC niche. With the migration to the EPC already starting to take place, the event is timely, allowing for operators to stay ahead of the market and to promote successful EPC planning and output. We are confident that the NGCN will provide a valuable forum for all the key players in the industry to discuss the complexities and opportunities surrounding the migration to a flattened, all-IP architecture for the SAE Core.
9. Why is the SAE/EPC so important right now? Extracted from WHITE PAPER – TRENDS IN PACKET CORE NETWORKS: “The role of the packet data network is increasing in importance as a key enabling technology of both mobile and fixed telecommunications networks. Not only is packet data Internet traffic increasing dramatically, but voice services will also migrate to packet data networks in the medium term as voice over IP, and mobile operators will gradually phase out legacy circuit switched core subsystems, such as GSM and UMTS CS cores”. “A dramatic rise in demand for broadband traffic is being driven by mobile computing, increasingly sophisticated smartphone devices and user desire to access multimedia services on the move. The trend to flat rate fees, along the lines of fixed broadband services, is causing traffic volumes to rise rapidly. Over the next five years, information, entertainment and enterprise data applications will see a strong increase in market share. As a result, mobile operators need to minimise costs and improve delivery mechanisms with packet core solutions for traffic inspection, control and service dependent charging”. Figure 1: Global mobile data revenues vs traffic, percent change 2007 & 2012 “Business benefits of a fully converged core network include reduced complexity and therefore reduced CAPEX and OPEX, reduced time to market for new services and rapid adaptation to changing needs, and new revenue development opportunities from bundling and new service creation”. “The extent to which mobile operators will be able to react cost-effectively to market and business trends and implement the right changes in packet core networks will also determine the success of the mobile operator businesssinthe medium to long term”.
10. Who is Invited to Speak? Hear from a range of the top industry experts: CxO’s, Heads of Departments, Product Managers, Core specialists and architects, Senior analysts and leaders of relevant forums will be invited to provide detailed insight into the issues surrounding SAE .
