CAN REQUIRED DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF SOUTHEAST ASIA BE BUILT PROFITABLY IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS?
Over the next five years, Southeast Asia’s data consumption and computing growth will require a massive investment (US $40-$60 billion) in infrastructure (towers, fiber, and data centers). Through the mix of telecom revenues and IT spending flattening, high interest rates soaring, and weak currencies across the globe, this is both a tall order and a huge opportunity for companies with the right strategy. This Viewpoint explores the path forward toward digital transformation.
Navigating fixed asset reconfiguration in telcos
Navigating fixed asset reconfiguration in telcos
Telcos have long looked to asset reconfiguration as a lever to increase strategic focus and unlock value. While examples often focused on mobile, reconfiguration now reaches fixed assets and is accelerating overall, both in passive and active network components. Rising interest rates, rapid fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) deployment, and an ever-increasing need for differentiation are forcing integrated telcos toward asset reconfiguration to avoid being outpaced.
