(Re)create the Future of Intelligent Digital Services

Session description

The telecommunications industry has changed the world several times over. In its early days, telephone calls revolutionised communication, replacing letters and telegrams with the ability to hear the voices of loved ones at a distance. In the next wave, communications networks began to carry data and the Internet appeared. They changed the world again. With the advent of broadband networks, fibre, and 4G-5G technologies, telecommunications have revolutionised communication, business, and digital services. Now, with the arrival of softwarised, programmable networks and technologies such as edge computing, the industry is poised to lead a new era of change.
