Major telcos have been forging strategic edge partnerships with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud over the past few years. But what does this means for the telcos and their public cloud partners, and indeed the wider telecoms ecosystem – and what will be the impact on end users and application developers? What can the hyperscale companies bring to the telcos, that the telcos can’t do themselves, and as we evolve the Digital Services Provider market, do telcos and hyperscalers need each other? Could this be a life-long relationship, or is it more of a casual fling?
The panel also addresses whether or not there will be a Culture Shock between telcos and hyperscalers, which could negatively impact the new partnerships. Plus, what does this mean for app development innovation?
