Over the last 10 to 15 years, many Communication Service Providers (CSPs) elected to establish an international presence, extending beyond their home countries and acquiring new subscribers and revenue along the way. This strategy ? focused on high-value opportunities and growth ? served CSPs well for almost a decade. However, today?s mobile market is virtually saturated, and CSPs continue to face increased competition from OTT providers. A deceleration in revenue and profit growth clearly indicates it?s time for a new approach.
Our research reveals that global CSPs have been unable to achieve a meaningful financial advantage over their single-market peers. This raises the question of what strategies and tactics global CSPs should adopt to improve their performance ? and we believe the answer can be found through true globalization.
AFTER the conclusion of Nick's presentation at 1.30pm, there will be an opportunity for you to network with your industry colleagues over tea and coffee until 2.00pm.
