WE. DID. IT. As this podcast is hitting the feed, we’re about to take a victory lap after an eye-popping, jaw-dropping, mind-blowing Mobile World Congress 2021 (MWC21). Most of you know that in early March, I took over Ericsson’s 6,000 square meter booth at the event and created CLOUD CITY – a huge hub for all things public cloud. (If this is news to you, go check out episode 16, #SaveMWC). CLOUD CITY was an outta-the-park home run. In less than three months, we designed and delivered an unforgettable experience for both in-person and virtual attendees.
MWC asked me to deliver a keynote during the show, which I’ve turned into this podcast episode. The topic is the paradox of the public cloud for the telecom industry – the cloud presents massive opportunities for telcos, but it’s not completely risk-free. But it’s coming to telco, and telco leaders need to deal with it. Burying your head in the sand is NOT an option.
A few things you’ll find in this episode:
Here’s the bottom line: the public cloud is coming to telco. It’s time to go ALL IN, use the public cloud the right way, and revitalize your telco. Let’s do it.
The Telco in 20 podcast won a 2022 Gold Hermes Award and was recognized on Forrester’s 2021 list of the Top 100 Channel Podcasts and Feedspot’s Top 10 Telecom Podcasts list.
