Telecoms industry set to reveal its hopes and fears

It’s that time of the year when Telecoms.com once again conducts the signature Annual Industry Survey. Answering it will not only let us know what you think, but will benefit the telecoms industry as a whole, and in turn, yourselves too.

The 2019 Annual Industry Survey (AIS) has just gone live. True to its mission, this survey is designed to take the pulse of the telecoms industry, in particular of those topics most pertinent to operators, suppliers, technology vendors, analysts, consultants, and everyone else with a stake in the telecoms ecosystem. It’s my job to write collate the responses and present them to you.

This year’s survey covers many of the core technology topics the telecoms decision-makers are most interested in reading about, including Industry Landscape, 5G, Digital Transformation, IoT, and BSS/OSS. Undoubtedly the readers of this story, you, are in the best position to tell us, and the industry, how you see the current status of the industry and where you see it heading for. So, please, click here to answer it.

I was thinking about giving this story a title like “Your Industry Needs You”, but that would be too Kitchener-esque, plus I don’t have the moustache to go with it. Instead, I’ll go full Churchillian: I have nothing to offer but a high-quality survey report for free, a sense of contribution, and the chance to win a new Apple Watch.

If this is your first experience with our AIS, or if you’re simply interested in finding out how correct (or incorrect) we have been with our understanding and predictions, feel free to check out last year’s results.
