  • Cloud services for TelCo's is probably the most significant and credible opportunity for a long while to escape commoditization of their connectivity-only services. Even more significant is that, if you unravel over 100 years of their endeavours, you find their core strength is their ability to mass retail complex technology – easily & economically. Cloud services encompassing IT and C is in great need of such integration to a point where it is easy to buy, use, swap and change without deep technical know-how on the customers’ behalf – just like the telephone service achieved early in its’ history.

    TelCo’s are in desperate need to move to the next “S” curve and yet they cling so avidly to the old one (and still the first one!). Yet, in every TelCo I deal with there are plenty of people with the drive and skills to move to the next growth S curve. Write to or ask any CEO and they will say “yes we’re moving in this direction”. But I don’t see any tangible or significant moves in reality. As said in the above dialogue “ice bergs move faster!” WHY?
