In an increasingly competitive telecom landscape, economics matter as much as technology. This session brings together Julio Alonso‑Lopez, VP – Engineering & Technology, Google Fiber, and Lalit Kashyap, Global Head – TMT Consulting (Technology, Media & Telecom) and Sector Head – CMN (US), Wipro, to explore how telcos can stay ahead by designing cloud‑native, data‑first architectures from day one.
The discussion examines how AI‑driven approaches are helping operators:
- Improve operational efficiency, reducing time to repair and cost per ticket
- Elevate customer experience through smarter, data‑led decision‑making
Looking ahead, the conversation also explores the implications of machine‑to‑machine traffic, ultra‑low latency requirements, security‑by‑design, and the need for highly converged connectivity architectures to support the next phase of telecom growth.
A practical perspective for leaders focused on aligning technology choices with sustainable economics and long‑term competitiveness.
