Great Telco Debate: Panel and Motion
The Motion: The sustainability journey will have a major impact on the telecoms industry
The motion was narrowly DEFEATED at the event - watch the live Q&A session discussing the motion (now available on-demand)
Sustainability is a complex set of topics which have tended to sit in the CSR department and not surface in mainstream market matters and strategy. Green energy is a great start point given the need for denser networks and compute, storage and connect at the edge of the network. Green investment is also gaining traction. How are telcos filtering the green agenda into their supply chain? Finally, what about the long-term sustainability of the industry itself as it faces competition from outside telecoms, margin pressure on services and a relatively lower-order role in the digital hierarchy?
