• Could the super-aggregator be the salvation of telco content ambitions?

  19-09-2017 18:12
  Telecoms.com got its first experience of IBC this year and while it was a very interesting experience, it raised more questions than answers around what role telcos have in the world of content.

• Verizon builds its own mini-Ericsson by making Rima Qureshi Chief Strategy Officer
