Vikram Sinha, CEO of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, speaks with Jeremy Au about his personal journey, the power of distribution, and why AI is not just another wave of telecom innovation. They retrace his career from selling mobile plans to leading a successful merger, discuss why distribution is still the biggest driver of growth in emerging markets, and unpack how AI must be localized, inclusive, and protected from bad actors.

Nunca hemos sido fans de los datos de portabilidad. Son muy ruidosos y arrastran un fuerte componente estacional y además tienen a tomar la parte por el todo. Pero como necesitamos más luz para tratar de comprender una industria que está en un punto de inflexión y cada vez tenemos menos fuentes (los operadores reportan menos) los estamos mirando con renovado entusiasmo. Pensamos que si se mezclan con otros pueden ayudar a entender qué está pasando. Con ese espíritu actualizamos las gráficas de #PortabilityChurn y #ConvergenceRatio que calculamos cada mes con los datos mensuales de la CNMC (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia). En esta ocasión os proponemos también un juego: cuánto falta para que el 4 operador (Digi Spain Telecom) alcance al tercero Vodafone España. Y mirando ese "extraño síntoma", poder conjeturar para que el mercado afronte un nuevo cambio de estructura, ya que parece que la creación de MasOrange no ha sido suficiente. La respuesta? entre 1 y 4 años. Cuál es vuestro juego? Considerad estos datos un adelanto del hashtag#BarómetroTelco Nae, que publicaremos de manera inminente

Esta semana, MasOrange e iryo han anunciado un acuerdo para mejorar el servicio móvil de la primera en los trenes de la segunda. Creo que es una excelente noticia y creo que merece la pena reflexionar un poco sobre la cobertura móvil en líneas ferroviarias en #ESP. Así que damos un vistazo a los datos de Arcep para #FR y de Opensignal para #FR, #IT, #CH y #DEU. Y hay algunos patrones: la cobertura es difícil, pero en general buena y sobre todo muy variable entre países y operadores. Según Opensignal la velocidad de descarga #5G que obtienen los clientes franceses de Orange supera los 300Mbps, lo que nos hace pensar que se trata de despliegue N78. En #ESP tenemos muchos menos datos, pero damos un vistazo a cómo se ha desplegado la infraestructura en la línea MAD-BCN (cerca del Cinca encontramos un tramo con una serie de estaciones separadas 3Km) y pensamos en la necesidad de densificarla. Los marcos jurídicos y regulatorios son diferentes para cada país europeo (claro!) y el de #ESP parece apostar por "la mano invisible del mercado" para la cobertura en líneas ferroviarias. Sirva este EP de #Telco #SuperLigero para recordar a los viajeros en tren que incluyan la cobertura móvil como uno de sus elementos de decisión y a todos los que puedan tener datos: CNMC (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia), Opensignal, Ookla o MedUX de que nos den más luz!

Cómo sigue el despliegue de #5G en #ESP? Tenemos datos nuevos de CNMC que nos dan pistas muy importantes. El número de estaciones base sigue creciendo de manera casi lineal pero lo hace con marcadas diferencias. Mientras que en N28 (700 MHz) hay dos operadores líderes (aunque según los dato CNMC el líder es MasOrange) y un tercero a distancia para la banda N78 (3,5 GHz) hay un líder destacado (Telefónica). Sin embargo, el porcentaje de clientes que utilizan estas redes #5G es en Vodafone España el mayor (57%), aunque en números absolutos, teniendo en cuenta su tamaño, es MasOrange con 8,4M la que ocupa la primera posición). Y los patrones de tráfico por cliente, mes y G son marcadamente diferentes según los operadores. La noticia de este trimestre es que MasOrange y Vodafone España han vuelto al crecimiento (más del 6% YoY). Veremos a dónde conduce. Esta diferencia de patrones de uso hace que aprox el 43% del tráfico móvil de la red de Telefónica sea originado por clientes de Digi Spain Telecom. Una cifra que no hay que olvidar!

Circet, a European leader in telecommunications infrastructure services, has improved safety, reduced emissions and cut operational costs by adopting a fully integrated telematics solution from Geotab Inc. ("Geotab") and Lytx Inc. ("Lytx"). In just three months, Circet and Geotab partnered to connect 3,000 vehicles across Circet's mixed fleet in Ireland and the UK, representing the biggest deployment of its kind in such a short installation window. Circet's fleet, which includes diesel and electric light and heavy commercial vehicles, required a solution capable of handling wide variability in makes, models and drivetrains. The combination of Geotab's global telematics data platform integrated deeply with the Lytx Surfsight video safety platform has given the Circet operations team full visibility into its entire fleet, delivering immediate impact. Within the first three months of this year, Circet recorded a 16% improvement in its company-wide driver safety score. Key safety metrics such as harsh braking, acceleration and cornering all improved, contributing to an average driver score 42% better than industry benchmarks. These improvements are largely due to the use of Geotab's Driver Safety Scorecard and near real-time driver feedback from the Lytx Surfsight dash cams, which alert drivers to risky behaviours and send incidents to the operations team forreview. Fuel efficiency has also improved. Circet's diesel vehicles are now operating at an average efficiency of 10 litres per 100 kilometres, 10% better than peer group leaders. Circet's transition to electric vehicles is delivering further savings. Over the first three months of 2025, electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for 3% of total fleet trips, covering more than 263,000 miles (424,000 kilometres). According to Geotab's Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA), Circet stands to save approximately €450,000 annually by expanding its electric fleet and swapping ICE vehicles for EV where appropriate. Based on results across all vehicle types so far this year, the Geotab and Lytx Surfsight solution could deliver over €2.7 million in fuel savings each year. Ray Verschoyle, Head of Transport Compliance at Circet said: "The combined Geotab and Lytx Surfsight solution has transformed how we manage our fleet. We now have the data we need to improve safety, cut fuel use, lower maintenance costs and operate more sustainably. Their focus on innovation and ability to integrate with our systems made them the perfect partners for our needs." Aaron Jarvis, Associate Vice President, EMEA at Geotab, added; "Circet chose Geotab because we offer more than just an off-the-shelf solution. Our continuous investment in product development, combined with strong local service and support, gave them confidence in our long-term value. "Our partnership with Lytx allows us to deliver fully integrated safety solutions, and our open platform meant we could align closely with Circet's internal systems and processes. It's another example of how Geotab's ecosystem can support a customer's needs today while future-proofing business operations." Deep integration to meet sustainability goals The Circet deployment includes Geotab telematics devices and Lytx Surfsight dash cameras with road-facing lenses, and the option of driver-facing ones, too. This hardware is backed by software integration with the Geotab platform, allowing Circet to unify vehicle tracking, video footage and safety data in one system. The rollout was supported directly by Geotab's local project team, who provided in-person training and implementation support to ensure a smooth transition. Geotab's data also supports Circet's sustainability goals. The company is using Geotab's certified Scope 1 emissions calculation tools to track fuel consumption and emissions reductions across both diesel and electric vehicles. This structured, data-driven approach is essential as Circet prepares for stricter ESG reporting requirements under EU le...

La industria #Telco "moderna", al menos desde el 2007, ha vivido siempre en la asunción de que los tráficos de datos son infinitamente crecientes. En 2020 vimos crecimientos interanuales del tráfico del 90%. Pero desde entonces ese crecimiento se había suavizado y la curva parecía acercarse a una asíntota, como si ya no tuviéramos cosas nuevas que hacer con nuestros móviles (al menos cuando están conectados a una red móvil). El 3Q24 la tasa de crecimiento interanual fue del 6,61%, la menor de la que tenemos registro. Pero los datos del 4Q24 muestran una subida hasta el 12,61%. Estamos al principio de un nuevo cambio de tendencia? Hemos encontrado cosas nuevas que hacer? Es el efecto, por fin, del #5G? Es pronto todavía para sacar conclusiones. Recordad que el verano del 2024 fue, de muchas maneras, extraordinario. El tráfico #5G supuso un 15,18% del tráfico #BAM total. El consumo promedio por cliente de #BAM (#DoU) fue de 13,2 GB/m. Lo que parece claro también es que si este nuevo patrón de tráfico existe, no se ha encontrado la forma de monetizarlo, al menos no para todo el sector. Los ingresos #BAM parecen prácticamente idénticos a los del 23. Hay más historias sobre los paquetes y su evolución y sobre como, a pesar de todo, el despliegue #FTTH continúa en el país. Dadles un vistazo en #Telco #SuperLigero EP202

“For every dollar an enterprise spends on telecom services, they spend four to five dollars on IT. Helping partners capture that revenue starts with a conversation,” says Rick Mancinelli, CEO of C3 Complete. In this Channel Partners 2025 podcast, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sits down with Mancinelli to explore how C3 Complete is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of two converging worlds: managed services and telecom. As both an MSP and a service provider to MSPs, C3 Complete offers a rare dual perspective—helping technology providers expand into telecom, and vice versa. Mancinelli shares how the industry has evolved from traditional break-fix IT and telco reselling models into a new era where MSPs are increasingly adding voice and connectivity to their offerings. At the same time, more traditional telecom partners are exploring managed services, seeking ways to offer a broader solution stack without taking on undue risk or complexity. C3 Complete helps partners navigate this transformation by providing a full suite of voice, connectivity, cloud, and managed IT services—without competing with the partner. This approach enables channel partners to expand revenue, increase customer retention, and become more deeply embedded in their clients' businesses. “Whether you're an MSP looking to add voice or a telco partner seeking to enter IT services,” says Mancinelli, “we're here to help you make that journey successfully.” About C3 Complete C3 Complete is a hybrid service provider and consultancy that delivers managed IT, cloud, voice, and connectivity services to businesses and MSPs across the U.S. By combining deep technical expertise with a partner-centric delivery model, C3 Complete enables resellers, MSPs, and telecom agents to expand their portfolios and grow recurring revenue streams.

Los datos de portabilidad móvil de la CNMC (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia) reflejan un mecanismo muy ruidoso en el que los resultados mes a mes pueden ser muy diferentes y muestran valores muy cambiantes para cada operador. Pero si se miran a largo plazo si pueden aportar alguna luz sobre cómo las dinámicas del mercado evolucionan. Desde hace años venimos asistiendo a lo que llamamos #FatigaDePortabilidad, en la que los clientes cada vez están menos inclinados a usar ese mecanismo para dejar us operador móvil. Ahora sabemos también que ese descenso parece haberse atenuado desde 2023. Sin embargo, como #ESP es un mercado dual, esos cambios no están afectando por igual a todos los jugadores y volvemos a la noción de #MercadoDual, aunque no exactamente como habíamos previsto. La combinación de la tendencia general y un verano extraordinario parece haber favorecido, a niveles de captación que los lo que mide este proceso, a Telefonica y Digi Spain Telecom

Show Notes: Gerd Schenkel discusses his experience in creating new telco businesses and how to analyze a telecommunications company. Gerd has spent over 10 years as a consultant and 15 years as an executive in banking and telco. He aims to make a differentiation in consulting work by bringing together both worlds. Developing a Telco Company Gerd spent six years at Telstra, Australia's incumbent telco, and three years as the CEO. He talks about his experience there and moves on to his first experience at creating a business which was for National Australia Bank, where he launched a digital bank called EuBank. He later worked as the CEO of a digital team and was tasked with building a telco division. Gerd discusses the creation, development and success of a telco project. He talks about launching a project, what it requires, and what he learned through the process, including accepting and meeting a 10-week launch deadline. He talks about key learnings from his time there, managing the team, product pricing,  and making the process of developing and delivering a product simple and effective. A Telstra Broadband Brand Success Telstra's internet broadband product was competing with its parent company's product, but the difference was not in speed or quality. The brand and marketing strategy was more about the connection to the local exchange, where the availability of ports was crucial for competitive dynamics. A former Telstra employee and artist was hired to help develop the brand. The team knew they would need to market locally, and in some areas, they would spend more money. However, they turned this limitation into a positive, creating a brand story called "Belong." The name "Belong" was about belonging to the local neighborhood, and the advertising would be with local shops. The brand was launched with white lists, indicating that the product was only available in certain areas. The name "Belong" was part of the "local connection" concept, and the bank "Eubank" was launched to create a national brand story. Challenges Faced by Telco Startup Gerd discusses the challenges faced by a startup telco, Telstra, in complying with specialist regulations. The telco license had provisions for  executing government and police directions, which were not widely known and not widely discussed. Our team was unaware of these requirements until a dedicated Telstra person contacted us about it. The team found a solution by flying a UK-based technician to install the necessary technology in exchanges. Gerd explains that, in terms of regulation, startups can do all their work upfront, but there are always unknowns and unexpected issues that need to be addressed. Flexibility and agility are essential in finding creative solutions, as demonstrated by Telstra's experience. Customer Service, Operations, and Billing Gerd shares an example of changes made to billing, and communication at Telstra. He explains that pro rata was a major cause for complaints due to the high cost of first bills. He talks about costs involved in rolling out a new billing system and how they chose a low-cost platform and how this solution cost them nothing and was immediate, meaning no complaints or phone calls. Gerd emphasizes that the mindset should be on the customer side, focusing on providing the best possible service and experience for customers. Gerd also mentions that Telstra had to configure routers with customers' accounts, which was impossible. They found a solution that was cheaper and more efficient, saving them $3 each. This resulted in no phone calls or track roles, and customers were happy. On the Moving Home Process The conversation turns to the redesign of the moving home process for Telstra, which had a negative NPS of perhaps minus 50 and a churn rate of 85%. The process was outsourced for decades and was a nightmare for customers with multiple products and separate tech stacks. Gerd suggested that they started with a small percentage and then rolled it out to everyone. They used their control of channels to impose a better process, routing website orders wherever they wanted. They then convinced call centers to enter orders on the website instead of the internal system, resulting in a reversal where the website became the internal interface for employees. This principle was also applied to mobile phone ordering, resulting in faster and easier ordering for all employees. Gerd explains that importing these mindsets into Telstra was harder due to the bigger scale, complexity, and politics involved. However, the benefits were 100 times bigger in terms of cost, with savings of 40 minutes per mobile order. He now works for a telco in North America, applying similar mindsets to their operations. The Business Model of Telecommunications Companies Gerd discusses the business model of telecommunications companies, particularly telcos. Telcos spend billions of dollars on infrastructure and technology, which is then used to make monthly subscriber payments. This complex system results in an average return on capital of 8% over the long term. However, telcos are less customer-centric than banks due to their network businesses where customers are not even a customer, but rather a subscriber. Gerd offers how telcos could reduce churn and increase revenue by being more customer centric. He suggests offering free basic services, such as data and advertising and shares a few working examples=. Analyzing a Telco's Monetization Base Gerd suggests analyzing a telco's monetization base by separating out non-network access revenue per customer. He suggests that if network access is the only revenue source, it will go towards a marginal return on capital (ROC). Telcos have unique access to populations and good brands, which can lead to increased revenue. Gerd also discusses the concept of local office apps, where users can opt in to receive local offers based on their location. This approach has been successful, but it has faced political debates over ownership of the PLC. He states that telcos can potentially generate 1,000,002 million in a country with 20 million people if done properly. Secondarily, telcos typically report the split between network access revenue and non-network revenue. However, Gerd suggests measuring this separately. To evaluate the non-network revenue, he suggests using incentives, reporting, and management tools. A consulting firm can help with this process, although it may require hiring a consultant. By valuing the non-network revenue dollar, telcos can better manage their costs and maximize their revenue.

On Nov. 19, 2024, Adam testified in front of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law on Chinese cyber threats to critical infrastructure. This was the first time he publicly spoke about LIMINAL PANDA, a China-nexus state-sponsored threat actor that has been targeting telecommunications organizations since at least 2020. LIMINAL PANDA is a newly named adversary, but CrowdStrike has been tracking its activity for over three years. It uses custom tools and demonstrates extensive knowledge of telco networks, including the connections between providers. And it's not alone: There are multiple adversaries targeting telcos, with good reason — the access they grant, and the data they possess, is a gold mine for threat actors. But LIMINAL PANDA's activity does more than showcase why critical infrastructure is a valuable target. It also represents how Chinese cyber activity has evolved since the mid-2000s, when it mostly involved “smash and grab” operations. Now, China has refined its espionage operations to conduct subtle and advanced attacks targeting critical infrastructure entities around the world. In this episode, Adam and Cristian dig deep into the discovery of LIMINAL PANDA, the maturation of Chinese cyber operations and the scary consequences of telco-focused cyberattacks. Adam shares more about his congressional testimony and the value of keeping government officials informed on adversary activity. Come for Adam and Cristian's Thanksgiving recipes, and stay for a deep-dive on this evolving nation-state threat, in this episode of the Adversary Universe podcast.
