Los mercados #telco deben abordar una nueva oportunidad: "Conectar al no tan bien conectado". Y esto es especialmente cierto para muchos de los países de América Latina. Hoy hablamos con Carlos Bernal, director de desarrollo de nuevos negocios en #Telecable #CostaRica y #Panamá. Carlos, que conoce muy bien el funcionamiento de los mercados tanto en Centro América como Sudamérica, Europa y Oriente Medio nos cuenta como #TeleCable decidió apostar por la fibra como instrumento para mejorar la conectividad de sus clientes y de las sociedades en las que operan y como, de una manera muy rápida consiguieron migrar de su red heredada HFC a una red FTTH completamente pasiva que les ha permitido mejorar la cobertura y conectar nuevos clientes. Con él exploramos las decisiones clave que hubo que tomar y los principales resultados que se obtuvieron y cómo eso está ayudando a que la sociedad costaricense, y también panameña, logre conectar mejor a los que, hasta ahora, no tenían tan buena conexión.

Telco provider 2degrees made a net loss attributable to shareholders of $18.2 million for the 2025 financial year.

For the past month, Kiwis have been able to have their say on proposals to change our telecommunications sector. Minister for Regulation David Seymour has said that these services are “as essential as power and water” and that “changing the way the sector is regulated will affect almost every Kiwi”. Changes could include introducing a consumer code, replacing or phasing out the current obligation framework, and “getting rid of obsolete rules”. But, what does that all mean? And do enough New Zealanders know how these changes could affect our everyday lives? Today on The Front Page, tech commentator Bill Bennett is with us to dive into the recommendations, and why consumers should care about how their connectivity is regulated. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

A dodgy firewall upgrade is reportedly behind an Optus outage that led to their customers across four states last week being unable to access the national emergency service triple-zero line. It's a story we're hearing more often - that an upgrade has taken out a major Telco or web service, leaving us stranded. But can you actually proof yourself in 2025? Plus find out why some think the world will end today as end-times event The Rapture is set to hit on 23rd September 2025. And in headlines today, Officials from the ABC in the US say they have reinstated Jimmy Kimmel and his late night show: the federal government has been accused of "failing Australians" by not implementing a Triple 0 custodian before the recent Optus outage; Investigators locked in a four-week manhunt for alleged police killer Dezi Freeman could soon face the prospect of having to "draw a line in the sand" as resource restraints and costs pile up; Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has been dumped as patron from several children’s charities over an email she sent to Jeffrey EpsteinTHE END BITS Support independent women's media Check out The Quicky Instagram here Listen to Morning Tea celebrity headlines here GET IN TOUCHShare your story, feedback, or dilemma!

The Federal Communications Minister says Optus can expect to suffer significant consequences following last week's triple-0 outage, that's been linked to multiple deaths. The Australian Communications and Media Authority [[ACMA]] has launched an investigation into the failure, with authorities looking to obtain significant information from the telco to understand what happened.

Less than two years after an historic outage blocked Australians from contacting emergency services, Optus is once again scrambling to regain the public’s trust.

¿Qué pasará en #Telco #ESP los próximos meses? ¿Qué será de Vodafone ESP? ¿Y de MásOrange? ¿Y de la propia Telefónica? Tenemos la suerte de poder contar con Fernando Cano y repasar con él el cierre del verano y el comienzo del otoño del 25. Fernando y yo dedicamos también unos minutos a pesar sobre cómo quedará, o debería quedar, España dentro del marco geopolítico europeo y cómo deberíamos conseguir que el sector de la #InfraestructuraDigital fuera, también una política de estado.

Matt Hurst, Senior Director of Strategic Business Architecture at Ribbon, joins Tom Arbuthnot to discuss the significant changes occurring in telco infrastructure with AI, analytics, and automation. Matt clearly explains how Automation, Containerisation and AI work and apply in telco and also large enterprise infrastructure.The telecommunications industry is embracing containerisation and automation to address competitive pressures, security requirements, and operational efficiency challenges. Traditional hardware deployment models are being replaced by flexible, cloud-native approaches that enable rapid scaling and automated management.Containerisation breaks network functions into modular components that scale dynamically based on demandAutomation reduces manual patching, testing, and configuration whilst improving security complianceAI-powered chatbots guide junior engineers through complex troubleshooting using integrated documentationInfrastructure as code creates single source of truth for network configurations across multiple sitesAdoption is being driven by security operations requirements and specialised skills shortagesThanks to Ribbon, this episode's sponsor, for their continued support. 

El tráfico de datos #BAM creció un 13,77% YoY en 1Q25 en #ESP. Es el segundo trimestre consecutivo en el que esa cifra crece desde el mínimo histórico de 6,61% que se alcanzó en 3Q24. La explicación de este nuevo incremento parece relacionada con que el #5G empieza a desarrollar un patrón aditivo frente al sustitutivo que se apreciaba hasta ahora. El 18% del tráfico móvil es ya #5G, unas cifras que empiezan a ser relevantes, pero que están muy lejos de las que, desde hace años, se ven en #KOR, por ejemplo. La pregunta clave es cómo se comportará el tráfico durante este 3Q25, que debe marcar el máximo anual de tráfico. Habremos iniciado un nuevo ascenso, como vimos en 2019? Estaremos en una nueva meseta? Asistiremos a un decrecimiento? La respuesta es clave para el futuro de la industria. Este crecimiento de tráfico no parece estar monetizando, al menos hasta el momento. En el EP:213 de #Telco #SuperLigero exploramos causas y consecuencia

El ingreso promedio que obtiene Telefónica en #ESP por servicios móviles fue en 4Q24 fue 12,79 €/m. Para Digi Spain Telecom ese mismo índice fue de 5,68 €/m. El #IPC de julio tiene un valor para el componente 8 "comunicaciones" de 102,5 y ha bajado desde 104,4 de junio, adelantando 3 meses las "rebajas" de septiembre que hasta ahora caracterizaban la evolución de los precios. Lo común de estas fuentes es que los índices de precios no parecen revertir la tendencia decreciente que la industria viene experimentando. Es más, incluso la creación de MasOrange, un #Titán que con su tamaño ha transformado completamente el panorama, no parece haber afectado esa evolución. E incluso hay síntomas de que esta erosión de precios se ha acelerado. Qué significa esto a medio plazo y cómo la industria continuará transformándose para ajustarse a una nueva realidad en los que los conceptos de resiliencia, capacidad y descarbonificación son cada vez más importante son las preguntas que nos hacemos hoy. Cuáles son vuestras respuestas?

Redes libres, futuro conectado. Podría ser, tranquilamente, el eslogan de un partido político en plena campaña electoral. Pero no nos vamos a meter en política, es lo único que nos falta.

“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.
