Episode 4: There's money in the back of the sofa

This episode was recorded at NetworkX 2024 in Paris. Our guest is Camille Mendler, Chief Analyst at Omdia. With her, we discuss the state of the telecoms industry today and the untapped potential that is still there.

Camille explains how, according to her, there is plenty of opportunity for telecom operators to make money when they can make up their mind whether they want to go for world domination or incremental revenue. Do we really need to build balloons and send rockets to space and are we really going to send each other holograms for Christmas?
