Episode 47: The Future of Telecommunications - 5G

In the last decade, the data usage over mobile has increased and number of subscribers and users increased but the revenue for telecommunication companies has gone down or stayed stable. 5G will bring huge opportunity for businesses including retail, manufacturing and travel and transportation. Data speed, IOT and connectivity will allow completely new use cases that we have never seen before. Will telcos own the end-to-end services for 5G or will others continue to benefit from the network they have paid for? Domen Rakovec, SAP General Manager for Services Industries, Middle & Eastern Europe, talks with host Tom Raftery about the past, present, & future of the telecommunications industry and the opportunities for telcos to leverage 5G technology to diversify their revenue streams.
