IoT and CSPs: The endpoint myth, monetization realities and guidance for the future
Over the last few years, communication service providers (CSPs) and telcos found themselves marginalized, becoming network pipe providers while OTT companies reaped the benefits of 3G/LTE. With numerous industry analysts predicting that billions of IoT endpoints will be connected by 2020, CSPs hope IoT can propel their next big growth phase.
However, the nature of IoT, along with standards complexities and ecosystem challenges, makes monetization equally complex.
To understand this dilemma, this article sheds light on the new 3GPP IoT standards, fragmentation and monetization challenges, as well as offers guidance on the best path for CSPs to take forward. Read more…
