Challenges
Expansion:
While developed countries experience a cap on growth figures as subscriber growth levels out, emerging markets suffer from decreasing growth rates and lower voice ARPUs. Tougher competition is also proving to be a wrench in the works, limiting expansion capabilities.
Diversification:
While tech improves by leaps and bounds and the volume of mobile data and applications explode, revenues aren’t quite keeping pace. This results in an ongoing search for new revenue streams in value-added and enterprise B2B services.
Tech:
While tech pulls us forward, it can also make the playing field more complicated. As technology improves, it forces telecom players to constantly evolve to effectively handle things like 4G and 5G network upgrades, the viability and business model clarity of cloud computing, and the impact of all-IP networks.
Modernization:
Telecom players often have to juggle between offering commodity or value-add-service strategies as the proliferation of smart devices and the availability of high-speed data access reshapes consumption patterns. Operators looking to monetize on this shift will need to support a broader application and service portfolio with better subscriber segmentation capabilities.
