Recently I came across this article “ What telcos talk about when they talk about cloud ”, it’s a short and refreshing one.

 

Let me share with you just a few insights on the content:

  • Managed-service offerings, it’s the way to compete in the marketplace vs. commoditized services
  • Hybrid cloud provides more flexibility
  • Partnerships are key to minimize risk and leverage on each other’s skills
  • Conferencing & Collaboration services provide additional areas of monetization

 

Challenges

  • Lack of expertize in implementing & selling cloud services
  • Regulatory issues & Data Sovereignty
