Disaggregation for Growth: Telco-as-a-Platform

This report looks at the opportunity from the disaggregation of telecoms networks, using cloud native networks and network applications – what can loosely be characterized as “Telco as a Platform”. Telco as a Platform can provide the foundation for telcos to assemble and build services for a larger ecosystem, based on their core network capabilities. This can be as a value-added supplier of network-based services or as an efficient utility supplier of underlying network services. CSPs should not be ashamed of taking either position, both of which can be highly successful.

The report will be of interest to the COO, VP of business strategy and those tasked with new revenue generation in telcos. It will also be of interest to new telco players in highlighting potential niches for new services and business models. It will be of interest to telco vendors in positioning their services to support disaggregated telcos providing Telco as a Platform.
