Summary

Clearly the capacity driven model in Telcos/CSPs isn’t working anymore. Telcos/CSPs risk driving themselves into obsolescence by persisting with existing business models. Disruptive trends like Platformization, growing demand for OTT & other digital services and evolution of Marketplace models to lend itself to various complex use cases are the directions to pursue for Telcos/CSPs.

In this webinar STL and ET Telecom will address key related questions:

  • Evolution of Marketplace models
  • Technology/process/people considerations in adopting Marketplace models
  • How focusing on change management and execution is still the key to seamless adoption of marketplace models in a Telco/CSP environment?
