What They Say
MWC is taking place this week and John Strand, a forthright writer on the topic of telecommunications has published a preview. His topics include 5G, OpenRAN, AI, Cloud, IoT, Green, and diversity.
He raises some good questions, including:
- Why are clouds, which are fundamental to the running of 5G and 5G services, not subject to regulation, like mobile operators?
- Why do regulators obsess about market power of mobile operators while being oblivious to cloud providers Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and increasingly Huawei?
He also makes some pithy observations on where the cash from new mobile generations go.
He expects around 50,000 visitors, down from 110,000 in 2019.
What We Think
It’s worth a read if you are interesting in the non-handset side of the mobile industry. (BR)
