“We're part of the governance mechanism telcos need for AI to be safe, secure, and performant,” said Stephen Douglas, Head of Market Strategy at Spirent. In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green interviews Stephen Douglas of Spirent, one of the world's leading test, measurement, and assurance providers for the ICT sector. The conversation takes a deep dive into how telecom service providers are uniquely positioned to lead in the era of sovereign AI — and why rigorous testing and assurance will be critical to their success. As AI moves from training clusters into live consumer and enterprise applications, the demands on network infrastructure are shifting dramatically. From unpredictable traffic bursts to strict data sovereignty regulations, Douglas explains how these changes represent both a threat and an opportunity for telcos. Central to the discussion is the concept of Sovereign AI — the idea that governments and mission-critical industries will require localized, compliant, and secure AI infrastructures. Far from being a constraint, Douglas argues this trend offers telcos a new chance to move beyond the “fat dumb pipe” role and become national AI enablers. By leveraging their deep, distributed infrastructure, trusted relationships, and regulatory experience, service providers can offer GPU-as-a-service, AI model orchestration, and privacy-compliant platforms. But as Douglas warns, with opportunity comes accountability. Telcos will need to validate AI model behavior, prevent hallucinations, ensure security doesn't degrade performance, and continuously test compliance. Spirent, Douglas notes, plays a crucial role in enabling this transformation: “From performance validation to continuous compliance audits, we're helping service providers become the trusted AI platforms of the future.” To learn more about Spirent: https://www.spirent.com

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. 1. India on Covid Alert Again India's health agencies have reactivated surveillance mechanisms amid rising Covid-19 cases in Hong Kong and Singapore. Genome sequencing and wastewater tracking in Bengaluru are already picking up early signals. With 257 active cases—the highest in a year—authorities stress there's no need to panic yet. “Covid hasn't vanished,” warns Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, citing the emergence of Omicron sub-variants LF.7 and NB.1.8. No hospitalizations have been reported in India, but experts are watching SARI and ILI trends closely. 2. SC to Telcos: No Waiver, No Shortcut The Supreme Court dismissed pleas by Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea, and Tata Teleservices for relief from ₹80,000 crore in interest and penalties linked to adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues. Calling the petitions “shocking” and “misconceived,” the court said it's up to the government to help—but it won't intervene judicially. Vodafone Idea, now nearly half-owned by the government, is under financial duress with over ₹2 trillion in dues. Without a bailout or major policy relief, analysts warn it may not survive beyond FY26. 3. India's Coffee Exports Brew Big India's coffee exports jumped from $800 million in FY15 to $1.81 billion in FY25, despite only marginal production growth. The secret? Higher global prices for robusta and strong branding. Karnataka remains the coffee hub, but cultivation is expanding into tribal districts of Odisha. With Europe's deforestation regulation kicking in, India's shade-grown coffee is gaining a green premium. Still, rising procurement costs are hitting local traders hard, even as demand from Italy, Russia, and Germany grows strong. 4. Myntra Goes Global, Starts with Singapore Myntra has launched international shipping to Singapore, targeting the 6 million-strong Indian diaspora. With over 35,000 styles across 100 brands—including Aurelia, Global Desi, and Rare Rabbit—the Flipkart-owned fashion giant is offering delivery in 4–7 days straight from India. CEO Nandita Sinha says the focus is on festive fashion and understanding consumer needs before expanding to more countries. Singapore's booming e-commerce market makes it an ideal launchpad for “Myntra Global,” a strategy aimed at building global brand affinity. 5. Trump-Putin Call Rekindles Peace Hopes In a surprise diplomatic turn, Russian President Vladimir Putin said his two-hour phone call with US President Donald Trump was “frank and useful.” The two discussed paths to peace in Ukraine, with Putin proposing a memorandum for a ceasefire and long-term treaty. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the idea of peace but said Russia must act to be trusted. “We want to finish this war, but we don't trust them,” he said. Talks may be resuming—but skepticism remains high. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Saurav started a Groupon-like offering for SMBs in 2011. He quickly learned it wasn't going to work. He and his team pivoted and started driving leads to suppliers using Facebook ads. It worked and they generated revenue—but they were becoming a digital advertising agency. It wasn't at all what they wanted to build.So they pivoted again.  They used the cash from that business and built Perkbox. The idea was a subscription-based offering that that gave perks to SMB customers. Telcos started buying it and attaching it to their products to drive sales. Then, they pivoted again, this time moving away from customer perks and to employee perks.This time, it worked. They grew from $2M in ARR to $14M in just 2 years. They kept growing and hit $36M in ARR. Then he sold the business to PE for $170M.It took longer than expected. There were more pivots than expected. But it was a huge success.Here's how it happened.Why you should listen:How to use new social media channels to drive growth.How to leverage partnerships to get end user adoption.Why having a profitable agency can be a great way to get started.Why capital efficiency can be a huge edge.Rebranding can help clarify market positioning.What it feels like to make $10s of millions in one day.KeywordsPerkBox, Groupon, startup journey, business model, SMB market, marketing strategies, recurring revenue, partnerships, entrepreneurship, exit strategy, venture capital, entrepreneurship, startups, employee benefits, social media marketing, capital efficiency, business growth, acquisition, rebranding, emotional marketing, lessons learnedTimestamps(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:48) The origin of Perkbox(00:04:52) Going after SMBs(00:12:16) The Pivot(00:26:35) Creating Viral Ads(00:32:28) Demo to Close Rate(00:40:12) Selling to PE Firms(00:49:38) A Piece of AdviceSend me a message to let me know what you think!

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.

By Tom Loozen (Senior Partner, Telecommunications), Adrian Baschnonga (EY Global TMT Lead Analyst), and Sören Grabowski (EY-Parthenon Global TMT Leader) To thrive in the future, telcos must seek differentiators beyond network quality and adapt to changing ecosystems and market structures. In brief The growth outlook for telcos is solid but unspectacular, based on core connectivity and continuing cost management allied to reliance on network quality. Industry leaders foresee pervasive changes to the sector in five years' time, which today's defensive strategies are not equipped to address. Rethinking business models and differentiators, and building new employee propositions and ecosystem positions, are vital for success on the road to 2030. Telcos have reached an inflection point in their evolution. They are ever more focused on core connectivity and continue to drive new waves of organizational efficiency with the help of emerging technologies. However, industry ecosystems, stakeholder expectations and workforce needs are developing in new directions at pace. In this light, defensive strategies based on network quality and cost optimization may fall short of the more substantial transformation telcos need to achieve. EY interviewed more than 60 C-suite executives from over 50 telecoms operators to understand their views about organizational priorities alongside the current and future state of the sector. In this article, we explore insights emerging from our research, underlining the dichotomy that exists between defensive near-term strategies and more radical future sector dynamics, and recommending key actions that telcos can take to ensure they remain fit for the future. About the research Between September 2023 and February 2024, EY-Parthenon conducted face-to-face surveys of 63 senior business leaders in the telecommunications sector to understand their business imperatives. The questionnaire explored a number of themes, such as the industry operating environment, strategy North Stars, near-term business priorities and the telco world five years from now. Respondents represented 29 countries — including 75% from Europe, 8% from Americas, 9% from Asia-Pacific, and 8% from Middle East and Africa — and featured a range of leadership roles, led by CEOs (32%) and chief strategy or transformation officers (21%). To participate in the survey, respondents were required to be leaders of a telco business function or unit. Traditional growth drivers underpin a solid performance outlook Survey respondents have a largely positive view of sector growth: more than half foresee sector revenues and EBITDA growing by 3% or more over the next three years. They are also confident of their own performance relative to their peers, with three quarters expecting to outperform the market over the same period. Inflationary pricing escalators built into consumer subscriptions have been supportive in some markets, indicative of wider resilience where customer spending has held up well in spite of the cost-of-living crisis, as highlighted in the EY Decoding the digital home study. Looking ahead, two key drivers of profitable growth as cited by the management are: growth in the core connectivity business (67%) and margin development through additional cost reductions and efficiencies (60%). These twin forces score well ahead of adjacent market services or more innovative business models, with only one in three respondents highlighting growth beyond the core business or growth in platform, ecosystem or as-a-service business. That said, there are regional nuances at play: Asia-Pacific telcos are much more receptive to growth via platforms or ecosystems, cited four out of six telco leaders in the region. Telco market growth outlook This chart shows survey respondents' expectations of telecoms market development in their own footprint in the next three years.

Telcos to Technos, from MSPs to MSSPs, Viirtue Coro Partnership Creates a Pathway, Podcast, We really loved Coro for the ability. “We believe the best value for our partners moving forward is going to be their ability to be that Swiss Army knife and to deliver all of these complex IT solutions to their customers” says Dan Rosenrauch of Viirtue. In this third and final part of a three-part series on Viirtue, we focus on how Viirtue is providing the tool set for their partners to remain that necessary technology vendor for their customers. We have a partnership coming with Coro, the cybersecurity vendor.  It's a very simple platform for an MSSP, especially who hasn't done this before, to get into the system, understand what the different solutions do, what problems they're solving, and to deliver those solutions right through our ecosystem.” “It's really going to enable our telcos and our MSP partners to become essentially full MSSPs with this one solution.” Cybersecurity is the hottest topic, and the Coro partnership enables Viirtue partners to win in that space. “No one sells something that's difficult to sell,” adds Dan, who explains the migration path of their partner community and how the Coro partnership delivers just the right set of tools, in a manner that's just right. The Coro Partnership includes tight integration with Viirtue's Viibe for quoting and billing.

Revolutionizing MSP Operations with Mobile-First Quoting, AI Integration, and Bleeding-Edge VoIP Infrastructure at Viirtue, Part of 2 of 3 “Your typical, you know, a small business on Main Street America doesn't really understand how AI works or how it gets put together and integrated into their daily tools,” says Dan Rosenrauch of Viirtue. “We think that just positioning our partners to be the trusted expert on AI, could be a pretty special thing growing.” In this second part of a three-part series on Viirtue, we take on infrastructure and Viirtue's work with their clients in this space. In this podcast we learn how Viirtue is positioning their partners for success by opening a new data center, with a very considerable investment. AI requires state of the art infrastructure. “We have a commitment to ensure that our partners can deliver AI tools, we feel like MSPs and telcos are in a unique position to be the consultants for AI.” "SIP trunking is still a huge business, and we've just invested over six figures into our SIP trunking network, which is cool. We did the opposite of what you think. With our investment, we can lower our overall costs and we're looking to push those savings onto our partners. With this big investment into our SIP trunking network and some of the configurations we've done by optimizing our costs, we're able to optimize our partners' costs and therefore they can deliver a more affordable solution to their partners, or they can just take advantage of the better margins. Whatever works best for their business.” About Viirtue, Inc. Viirtue is an award-winning wholesale voice & UCaaS provider.

This episode of the 5G Guys podcast tackles the existential challenges facing the telecommunications industry, emphasizing how sometimes, telcos are their own biggest adversaries due to their inherently conservative nature. Hosts Dan McVaugh and Wayne Smith welcome repeat guest Pete Bernard to discuss his new venture, Edgecelsior, and explore how the telco industry can evolve amidst the rapid technological changes spurred by new technologies like AI, 5G, and edge computing. Bernard shares insights from his career, the strategic pivot towards Edge and IoT technologies at Microsoft, and his decision to start Edgecelsior, focusing on industry analytics, content publishing, and strategic work for other companies. The talk delves into the series 'Saving Telco from Itself,' identifying key areas for the industry to address: adopting a solutions mindset, investing in software, embracing edge computing, following the gravity of open architectures, and dialing down the 'Futurama'. The conversation also touches upon challenges such as regulatory environments, talent migration to technology sectors, and the need for telcos to innovate within a regulatory framework to avoid becoming 'dumb pipes.' Bernard argues for telcos to find their lane either as smart pipe providers or solution providers, underscoring the necessity for strategic reorientation to remain competitive.     __________________________ Connect With Our Guests __________________________      Edgecelsior Website ➡︎ https://www.edgecelsior.com/      Pete Bernard LinkedIn ➡︎ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernardpete/      Saving Telco from Itself Blogpost ➡︎ https://www.edgecelsior.com/_files/ugd/77feae_c8c119e0e343427ab9d9ea9323e08953.pdf   __________________________ Connect With Our Sponsor __________________________      Vertex Innovations ➡︎ https://vertex-us.com/ __________________________ Connect With Us __________________________      5G Guys Website ➡︎  https://5gguys.com        Social:        ·       Facebook ➡︎   https://www.facebook.com/5Gguys      ·       LinkedIn ➡︎   https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12515882      ·       X ➡︎   https://twitter.com/5gGuys   _______________________________ Submit Your Ideas or Feedback ➡︎ https://5gguys.com/contact-2 _______________________________ Subscribe to the 5G Guys Weekly Newsletter ➡︎ https://mailchi.mp/5gguys/subscribe-to-the-5g-guys _______________________________ ⏰Episode Minute-by-Minute⏰   00:00 Trailer 00:28 Introducing the 5G Guys Podcast 01:25 Catching Up with Pete Bernard: From Microsoft to Edgecelsior 02:21 Pete Bernard's Journey and the Birth of Edgecelsior 04:55 The Hot Topic: Saving Telco From Itself 05:30 Exploring the Existential Crisis in Telco 07:52 Five Ways to Save Telco From Itself 11:49 The Challenge of Legacy Infrastructure in Telco 14:48 Open Architecture and Regulatory Challenges 17:11 Innovation Within a Regulatory Framework 18:09 AI Revolution in Customer Support 18:36 The Regulatory Landscape: US vs Europe 18:54 Telcos' Strategic Crossroads: Smart Pipe vs Solution Provider 20:21 The Challenge of Becoming a Cloud Provider 21:35 The Importance of Sales Alignment and Market Strategy 25:46 The Shift Towards AI and Job Reductions 27:50 The Edge Computing Opportunity 30:01 Talent Migration and the Future of Telcos 32:51 Innovating with Edge Data Centers and AI Workloads 34:54 Final Thoughts and Predictions
