With the outbreak of COVID-19, telecom companies should be well equipped to handle the operations for meeting the 30% to 40% increase in bandwidth demand on their networks as millions of employees and students became homebound. According to FieceTelecom, the coronavirus pandemic has pushed companies of all sizes to accelerate their digital transformation plans. The companies that had already engaged in the adoption of digital transformation and cloud strategies were better able to sustain in the first few weeks of the pandemic. Verizon Business' survey results echoed some of the points, including 43% of the respondents now planning to expand their businesses through digital and related technologies. Also, 30% have already added new methods for delivering their products and services digitally.
- The telecommunications industry is regarded as one of the significant adopters of digital transformation, both as a key driver of worldwide digitization and as an industry witnessing a large-scale change in its market environment.
- Investment by the telecommunications industry in interoperability and technology has reinforced a paradigm shift in capital flows and information through the global economy while providing the building blocks for the emergence of entirely new business models across industries. With the rapidly growing demand for bandwidth and the increasing number of mobile Internet users, communication service providers are evolving to offer advanced and innovative solutions.
