Detecon can look back proudly to more than 40 years of telco industry experience, which puts us in a very unique position. We believe there is no other consulting company worldwide that covers the entire Telco space as profoundly as we do. Looking into the future, we see that Telcos are amidst the “Second Wave of Digitization” competition. We see four digitization meta-trends in society, technology, politics and customer demand that will shake-up the telco ecosystem as of today. As a result we anticipate an epochal turn of tide for Telcos: their assets and performance are decisive for the future economic development and welfare of each nation and will be played out in a future level playing field among all competitor groups! The race for the Gigabit societies is global – and it’s on.

From small start-ups to global corporates: with business demands driving for digitization of their production, supply and customer experience, all this will be depending on connectivity: so quality-differentiated, deep coverage and ultra-reliable connectivity becomes critical to digital consumer and business lifes. Carriers in future may either act as digital infrastructure providers – enabling the exponential growth of digital applications in a wholesale business model; or employ their established assets like trusted brand, sales/services structures and technical innovation skills to act as trusted companions to end-users (consumers and businesses) providing digital key services under their own or co-labeled ecosystem.
