Telecom Sector Overview
Although the telecom sector has become essential to the daily lives of the world’s consumers and businesses, the industry remains stuck in a low-growth mode. Inability to scale internal digitization initiatives, failure to prioritize workforce planning, inefficacy to combat the growing CapEx burden, and failure to adapt to changing regulatory frameworks are some of the major risks faced by companies in the telecom sector. To succeed in the long-run, companies in the telecom sector will need to identify potential market risks and realign business models.
