Keeping hold of customers and revenues and defending their territory has become their key modus operandi. Our Industry Outlook event will explore options for telcos beyond merely retaining their existing business.

A one-day strategic event, Telecom and New Media Futures: Battle planning for Profitable Growth explores the strategies that telcos are pursuing to retain their customers and profits and how they are dealing with the increasing dominance of online players. It has a specific focus on how operators are looking to change their approach towards pricing broadband access from tiered pricing to application-specific tariffs.
It also seeks to understand how online players develop their ecosystems and in doing so, establish a presence across the device, software and media businesses.
The event will also explore options for telcos beyond merely retaining their existing business. Connected devices, M2M and enterprise verticals are three related areas that show rich promise for telecoms operators. But it is still too early to understand precisely how profitable these businesses will become and whether telcos can capture occupy a lucrative place in emerging value chains.
