B2B2X business models: where do the opportunities lie?

The vision of building B2B2X businesses is a long-held aspiration of the telecoms operator community. In the past it has tended to be associated with the IoT business and a world of intelligent consumer devices supported by wide-area cellular connectivity. But that market has failed to materialize. However, interest in B2B2X business models and opportunities has been revived as part of the surge in interest in network API monetization and the emergence of differentiated connectivity experience enabled by 5GSA networks. Many telcos aspire to build their own marketplaces where developers offer new services and solutions that embed CSP connectivity or other non-connectivity APIs.

In this webinar we consider the best opportunities in B2B2X businesses and examples of the early services and proofs of concept that operators are launching across the world. We also consider the key factors that will determine whether B2B2X businesses represent a sustainable, long-term opportunity for telecoms operators.
