3. Is Balkanisation of the telecoms industry inevitable? Telecoms is heavily influenced by global geopolitics, especially the rivalry between the US and China. Do we all have to pick a side?
4. Has telecoms surrendered too much to the cloud? How should telecom operators strike a balance between the benefits of scale and flexibility of cloud and the control over their own lifeline?
5. The pros and cons of AI and automation for telcos - Is there such thing as too much automation, AI and machine learning for telecom operators? When and how should humans step in?
6. Will the high expectations for IoT ever be realised? How stakeholders can bridge the difference between promises and reality of IoT by making it more profitable and sustainable for CSPs?
