World Series: You interview many CEOs and C-level executives from the
operator community – what have you found to be the key challenges facing board
level operators currently?
Toni Eid – Telecom Review: The use of
mobile broadband continues to skyrocket. The tremendous growth of mobile is
continuing and is gaining momentum as more and more services, as well as
things, get connected. Driven by the demand for connected devices and new
applications the volume and types of data moving across networks are growing
exponentially presenting big challenges for operators.
The operator landscape is changing
which is posing a new pressure on the operator to adapt to the new value chains
that are being created due to the digitalization of various industries.
In addition, the advent of
over-the-top (OTT) players also presents big challenges for operators. OTT
applications are growing and are more and more taking shares from operators’
revenues.
With this the huge surge in data
traffic and OTT applications, operators face the challenge of monetizing this
traffic and find new sources of revenues while keeping the customer happy. The
competition is getting tougher.
