Webinar - Communications Service Provider (CSP) strategies for IoT (1st July 2024) Every year Transforma Insights publishes its CSP IoT Peer Benchmarking report, a key part of our Advisory Service research. The report analyses the capabilities and strategies of leading MNOs and MVNOs in IoT, identifying the key developments and appraising the strategies of those leading players. Based on the research we will deliver a webinar on the 1st July 2024 which will examine the key trends affecting cellular-based IoT connectivity. I will discuss the key themes that define the IoT connectivity landscape today, including: - Changing structure of the market, including the approach of different players, evolution in service offerings, relationships between the different types of CSPs, and M&A. - Network strategies including varying approaches to the various low power wide area (LPWA) cellular technologies (including NB-IoT, LTE-M, LTE Cat 1bis, and 5G RedCap), evolution in approach to 5G, and the roll out of hybrid cellular/satellite services. - Approaches to supporting multi-country connectivity, such as the approach to remote SIM provisioning, particularly SGP.32, and the changing commercial models likely to be triggered by that standard. We also compare CSPs’ abilities to address connectivity in challenging regulatory markets worldwide. - Middleware strategies, encompassing both the evolving approach to Connectivity Management Platforms (CMPs), as well as device management and other aspects of the application development ecosystem. - A renewed interest in hardware, with more CSPs focusing on a full device-to-cloud proposition, more attention on delivering gateways and modules, extension into the sensors domain, the enhancement of deployment services, and the cross-optimisation of devices with connectivity. - Consulting and contextualisation, looking at how CSPs are staving off price erosion in the core connectivity business by layering on enhanced pre-sales and post-sales support and additional horizontal services, as well as finding new ways to package and promote them. - New commercial models, including evolution in pricing approaches, service tiering, customer support, and channels strategies. - And much more The webinar will provide substantial insights into the changing dynamics of cellular-based IoT connectivity and the approaches that the leading MNOs and MVNOs are taking. It will be essential viewing for any enterprise looking to procure cellular-based IoT connectivity, any MNO/MVNO wanting to understand its position in the market, and the rest of the IoT ecosystem seeking to understand the key trends that are shaping the space.

Mobile operators and GSMA unveil a pioneering Mobile Industry Manifesto for Europe: "New Rules for a New Era: Connecting Europe to 2030." A must-read for the future of our sector in Europe: 👉 Connectivity is the backbone of a competitive digital and green economy. It is the lifeblood of technologies, such as AI and big data, cloud, quantum computing, and the metaverse. The mobile sector’s importance as a strategic asset for Europe’s resilience should be recognized, and its value should be enhanced. 👉 Europe is lagging behind other global players. Excessive market fragmentation, spectrum costs, and an outdated regulatory framework have caused the telecom sector’s revenues to decrease. A paradigm shift is urgently needed. 👉 With over 100 operators present in the EU, European telcos have an average customer base of approximately 5 million subscribers each. By comparison, operators in China and the U.S. have 450 million and 110 million subscribers per company, respectively. 👉 A more pro-investment approach to EU spectrum policy can be an essential driver of Europe’s connectivity goals. 👉 There is a regulatory imbalance in the digital ecosystem between the largest tech companies and the telecom operators that needs to be addressed so that all market players benefiting from the digital transformation assume their social responsibilities and make a fair and proportionate contribution to the costs of infrastructures, for the benefit of all Europeans. https://lnkd.in/dVmJJfhn

The report 'The future of European competitiveness,' presented by Mario Draghi on September 9th in Bruxelles, proposes substantial changes to European policy goals and how to achieve them to ensure a sustainable growth enabling the digital and green transition. In the field of #telecommunications, much of the discussion is focusing on the proposed changes to #competition policy, but other equally important proposals have largely gone unnoticed. One of the simplest and most impactful measures suggested is the introduction of a deadline for the gradual phase-out of copper #networks. As highlighted in the report, this would stimulate investments in fiber optical networks. Furthermore, accelerating the progressive switch-off from copper would support Europe’s environmental goals contributing to the development of a more sustainable industry, as already outlined in the White Paper on #digital infrastructure needs.

#Telecoms have long managed their networks as technical assets rather than true products, maximizing network performance without clearly linking it to customer outcomes. In this article, Borja Belda, Sebastian Cubela, Brendan Gaffey, Sebastian Gonzalez, and Tomás Lajous – representing views from McKinsey Tech, Media and Telecom – examine advances in #AI that allow #telecom operators to better understand individual customers’ network experience, enabling ROI-maximizing capital allocation, higher reliability, and better commercial outcomes: https://lnkd.in/es5TXCAZ #Telcos #Telecommunications #CX #ArtificialIntelligence

Great to see more positive news in terms of 5G rollouts – this time MASORANGE stating that 3,530 municipalities now able to access 5G services in Spain – that’s 86% of the population. By the end of 2024, they expect nearly 100% of Spanish municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants, which approximately 750 towns, will be connected to 5G. One interesting point to note – the MNO has said the majority of the coverage has been achieved by using the 700 Mhz frequency band – a lower frequency band then is normally talked about when discussing 5G, maybe more of a coverage first, capacity alter approach? #connectivity #networks #investment #innovation #mnos #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #spain #towers #masts #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #rollout https://lnkd.in/eSjHV247

A must-read: The Future of European Competitiveness report by Mario Draghi to contribute to the European Commission’s work on a new plan for Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness, supporting a previous call from GSMA for the future of #telecoms. 🇪🇺 👉 Facilitating consolidation in the telecoms sector is needed to deliver higher rates of investment in connectivity. The cornerstone initiative is modifying the EU’s stance towards scale and consolidation of telecom operators to deliver a true Single Market without sacrificing consumer welfare and quality of service. To encourage consolidation, the report recommends defining telecoms markets at the EU level – as opposed to the Member State level – and increasing the weight of innovation and investment commitments in the EU’s rules for clearing mergers. 👉 Country-level ex-ante regulation should be reduced in favor of ex-post competition enforcement in cases of abuse of dominant position. It is also proposed to harmonize EU-wide spectrum licensing rules and processes and to orchestrate EU-wide auction design features to help create scale. To ensure that EU players remain at the forefront of new technological developments, it is recommended to establish an EU-level body with public-private participation to develop homogenous technical standards for the deployment of network APIs and edge computing, as was the case for roaming in the 1990s. 👉 To increase the capacity of EU operators to invest in these technologies, it is recommended to support commercial investment sharing between network owners and Very Large Online Platforms that use EU data networks to a massive extent but do not contribute to financing them.

The report by former ECB president Mario Draghi criticizes the EU’s regulations for stifling digital competitiveness and innovation. It calls for reforms in industrial policy and increased tech investment. Draghi warns that the EU’s stance on tech hampers innovation, urging a focus on closing the innovation gap with the U.S. and China. The report highlights the complexity of the AI Act and GDPR, warning that overlapping rules could stifle AI development. In short the Draghi report says, that if the EU wants to get out of its decades-long rut of dwindling productivity and economic decline, it should stop focusing on regulating technology and instead build cutting-edge tech itself.
