At its current status, many experts believe that telecommunications is on an unsustainable path, faced with the need to innovate and seriously revisit traditional approaches.
The future of telecommunications depends on the industry’s willingness to enact certain ideals and processes that can help them metamorphose along with the rest to meet the challenges and opportunities of the coming decades.
Integrate With Distributed Computing Services
“The cloud” has made possible a new approach and perception of information. Digitization has made it possible for data to be accessible in a revolutionary way, making information a raw material that is affordable, powering every industry and every process.
If the telecommunications industry can move away from thinking in their traditionally wired way, we can answer the customer problem on a new scale and scope, working together with the sources of information to better deliver and facilitate the exchange.
Shift Network Design and Operations
Telecommunications has long relied on a craft-based approach to design and operations of network. Now, however, it is necessary to turn to a much stronger, science-based strategy of engineering. Costs and failures can be largely engineered out through a robust model of cause and effect, as it cannot be with anecdotal reasoning.
The current performance engineering capability deficit, an approach that is far from mathematical, could mean some serious hurdles for many organizations. During the transition, it’s important to fully embrace the packet-based statistical multiplexing, and to trust in its mathematical properties.
Move to Demand-Driven Industry
Current broadband networks are designated by their speed, not how suited they are to specific customer needs and desired outcomes, or by considering associated cost or quality trade-offs. It’s important that we now begin to approach the industry according to demand, rather than focusing on supply.
Understanding demand and what is now needed from telecommunications can help organizations build supply according to what is required. By working directly with fundamental properties, we can assure further service enablement, not remain stubbornly constrained to the limited understanding of past decades.
Focus on Distributed Computing Infrastructure
For companies that currently offer varied services and products, it may be time to focus on this broad aspect of the industry. Activities that are not included in the platform of distributed computing could only serve to distract, and should be syphoned onto a separate consumer digital or enterprise services unit.
Many telecom companies have already perceived this need and have started reacting to it, so this should be a simple strategy to emulate across the industry.
If our industry can enact these changes in mindset and procedure, we could be on the brink of a great boom of digital services. The next few decades will see society re-organize around global economy and the acquisition of information with dependable and affordable means of accessing it.
