Operators in the Gulf Cooperation Council are building broadband to remote areas and reaching population-wide 4G/5G coverage. As the mobile market saturates, revenue growth will come from fixed broadband and value-added digital services. Other Middle Eastern countries will likely look for opportunities for revenue growth in the mobile segment and connectivity improvements. Some operators are likely to prioritise investing in 4G/LTE coverage as it will be more profitable than transitioning from 4G to 5G.

A really significant issue here but a tough nut to crack; building more equality into the #telecoms industry. The roots of it are manifold and the answers have to be as well, but the benefits of a diversified set of ideas and perspectives has to be welcome.

Always interesting to see the growth figures and contribution of the mobile industry to GDP. The latest Mobile Economy North America report launched yesterday shows that the mobile industry and services contributed about $1.3 trillion to the GDP of countries in North America in 2023. Alongside this, the US and Canada continue to be among the global frontrunners in 5G adoption with 90% of connections expected to be 5G by 2030, unlocking significant enterprise opportunities over the next few years.

Today’s provisional findings from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on our proposed merger with Three UK underestimate the current realities of the UK mobile market.     The merger would address many of the issues our market faces today. By all measures, it is pro-growth, pro-customer and pro-competition.     From bringing best-in-class 5G to 99% of the UK population by 2034 and every school and hospital by 2030, to allowing around 50 million customers to benefit from significantly improved network quality, our commitment of £11 billion investment as a joint company over ten years will be catalyst for change.     Whilst we disagree with the assertion that the merger will lead to price rises for customers, we are encouraged by the recognition from the CMA that the country needs a better quality network that the £11bn investment will bring. Today’s report was an expected next step in the merger process, and we look forward to working with the CMA to secure approval, unlock huge benefits for everyone and building the world-class infrastructure the country deserves.   #TheNationsNetwork #TogetherWeCan #Vodafone #ThreeUK #CMA #5GSA

An approach that enables wholesalers to better differentiate their offerings and drive sustained MVNO growth. A modern, digital monetization solution founded on real-time transparency, accuracy and trust, delivering significant value end-to-end along the wholesale to retail-to-consumer continuum. Why? Because great customer experiences never commoditize. Welcome to Monetization-as-a-Service. #telco #wholesale #mvno #mvne #monetization #digital #b2b2x MATRIXX Software

Ericsson and Umniah partnership continues to expand and creating digital goods for society in Jordan. With the expansion, network coverage will be extended, thereby providing 4G in areas where it is currently unavailable. The additional spectrum and upgraded infrastructure will enable Umniah to handle more data traffic and support demand for mobile broadband services and faster connectivity.

AI and the future of telecoms

Et tu Vodafone... In my book The Internet of Things Myth back in 2020 I noted that one of the inhibiting factors of adoption of IoT was that vendors of connected devices would frequently cease support for them (see Philips, Sonos, Google, Garadget, Revolv et al) meaning that customers would think twice. Here's another example. #IoT

This is an interesting take on the proposed Vodafone and Three UK merger from Financial Times – basically asserting that the Competition and Markets Authority’s view on the merger will be based on ensuring that consumers are not in any way forced to pay more for services – either at a consumer or a wholesale level. This seems to lack nuance to me – the major issue in our industry (Shared Access are a neutral host that designs, builds and owns telecom infrastructure that can be shared and help facilitate increased capacity and coverage vs each MNO building and funding the same infrastructure side by side) is that as long as we as consumers continually demand LOWER tariffs for MORE data (or services like 5G) there is NO incentive for any profit based business to invest in delivering those services. What most of this analysis misses regarding the potential merger is that we need better and stronger networks – the existing regulatory structure and approach has created the current scenario. Maybe it’s time for the regulator to think different? #connectivity #networks #merger #acquisition #m&a #investment #innovation #mnos #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #UK #towers #masts #inbuilding #property #realestate #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology https://lnkd.in/eih_PqEp

As I walked out of Thames Tower at the end of another successful Imagine Live event last week, I reflected on the ingredients that make this event so special and important.   Imagine Live is an annual event where we invite customers and colleagues into our UK HQ to showcase Ericsson’s products and services. Each day is dedicated to a different customer, with time for our team to explore as well. With 5 keynotes, 10 workshops and around 15 demonstrations there were lots of opportunities to share insights and explore Ericsson’s technology. The event works so well because:   1.     We’re focused on the customer. With over 60 customers every event, that’s 250+ customers over the four days. Aside from what they learn about Ericsson UK & Ireland, customers told me how valuable our event is in getting different parts of their businesses together in one place. It makes for a good team day. There is also a lot of collaboration too, where we work with our customers to solve shared challenges, diving deep into topics like monetizing 5G. Unlike a large industry event such as MWC, at Imagine Live we can offer each of our customers closed sessions where we showcase developments without their competitors being in the room. That’s another plus. 2.     There’s the magic of gathering in-person. It was wonderful to see our space bursting to the seams with customers and colleagues. All that human interaction! It generated such a buzz. It's exciting - and necessary - to have face-to-face interaction at scale. That energy doesn’t happen the same way online via Teams. It’s also the kind of event where you can have many important conversations, not by following a tight agenda, but instead creating the space that allows collaborative conversations to happen. One customer told me they’d achieved more here in three hours on a project than they had in three months! Being outside of their own offices’ customers get a different perspective on their business. 3.     We can get up-close with the technology. At Imagine Live, you can see, touch and feel our latest work and innovations. Even for someone like me who is very familiar with our products and services, nothing beats seeing it in action. There was a popular demo on how network slicing works in a stadium environment, operating end to end. I could see a real ‘light bulb’ moment in the room where people suddenly went: ‘I really get it now!’   Thanks to the team behind the event who bring everything together seamlessly, and to our customers for coming along and seeing what we’re up to. The exciting thing to me is that next year we’ll have a whole host of new technology to showcase. I can't wait!   #ImagineLive2024 #CustomerEvent #Collaboration #5G

Another day closer to the Competition and Markets Authority decision about the proposed Three UK and Vodafone merger, and another report (from one of the MNOs) about why it should be approved! This time it’s from Three, who say that small and medium size business need much more support from the #Government, as well as access to better and more ubiquitous mobile networks to enable them to catch up to rivals overseas. This will of course also grow the economy and improve conditions in the country. As always, some of this will be lobbying for the proposed merger to be approved, however, all businesses and people tend to complain about mobile connectivity hindering their working habits and productivity, so it does look to be based on some truth! #connectivity #networks #privatenetworks #private5g #investment #innovation #mnos #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #UK #masts #inbuilding #property #realestate #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #wifi #fibre https://lnkd.in/etypXPgw
