What is next for the telcos?

What should the telcos do to make the most of 5G and digitalisation while cutting down costs and collaborating with the competition? New questions. New answers

Where do we go from here and what new turns and potholes await us? This fireside chat at TLF 2023 tried to find exactly that. It was moderated with a new GPS acumen by Pradeep Gupta, Chairman, CyberMedia Group. He steered the panel into some bold questions and tangents.

He asked Akhil Gupta, Vice Chairman, Bharti Enterprises to dig into the aspect of Satellite Communications – as an evolutionary turn for the industry. Akhil Gupta explained, “I am astounded at the way lower-orbit constellations are developing, especially how the costs here are significantly lower than those in the Western economies. It’s a big race between terrestrial and satellite as we move from 4G to 6G. But as we go forward, a lot of complimentary equations will come with satellite as a backup. This will be good for far-flung, low-density areas like the mountainous and rural regions.”
