MWC 2023: Transforming telco to techco with the Microsoft Cloud
The telecommunications industry is at an inflection point where connectivity has become a commodity and business-to-consumer (B2C) revenue has flattened. The new breed of customer demands enhanced digital experiences while returns on massive capex spending have stagnated. Technology brings an opportunity to fuel transformation and unlock differentiated revenue streams. This transformation will enable telcos to monetize their 5G investments and maximize the value of the edge in innovative ways including cross-industry solutions. Microsoft has a long history of partnering with telcos and other organizations, which provides opportunities for joint innovation and collaboration.
