“Maybe along with the three legs that 5G stands on (massive Machine Type Communication (MTC), enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), and Ultra Reliable Communication (URC)) we need to add a fourth leg of ultra low cost broadband (ULCBB).”

13 Technology Research & Innovation
Customers and Operations are key
Customer Experience (CEX)• Do we really know our
Customers? What do they LOVE?• Knowing my name does not mean
you know me.• How do we make the experience
more Personalised?• What is the competition doing in
this space? OTT vs Telco
Organisational TransformationData Revenue per Connection is not a viable Business CaseHow do we add value by introducing Analytics?What should we do to best manage NFV & SDN?
