Telco to techco: capex and opex implications

A new benchmark report from TM Forum draws on a global industry survey to examine how far communications service providers (CSPs) have gone in changing their organizations, business models, customer relationships and technology to become techcos. In particular, it explores the cost implications of making a telco-to-techco transformation.

Read this report to understand:

  • The cost to be a techco, including investment in new technologies
  • The most important elements of being a techco
  • Comparative levels of R&D spend of telcos, vendors and hyperscalers and what that means
  • What operators need to invest in to realize their techco aspirations
  • Telco capex and opex trends and what they tell us about the potential impact of telco-to techco transformation
  • The implications of a drift towards more opex-centric models
  • How change in spending is likely to impact functions across the telecoms operator business
  • The cost implications that CSPs should consider if they are on the telco-to-techco journey
