What Telcos talk about when they talk about cloud?

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:

Opportunity

• 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
• Scalability, Cost & Time to market
