The GSMA Mobile Economy report forecasts the IoT market will be worth just over $1tn by 2025 with as little as 5% of that revenue attributed to connectivity. Unsurprisingly “moving beyond connectivity” has become a key strategic ambition for CSPs. But there are obstacles to be overcome before they can get there.
The challenge starts with the need to serve a new type of customer. IoT growth sits with enterprise and SMB customers and they do not view CSPs as easy to work with. 39% cite issues around innovation and solution relevance as their main challenges in working with CSPs. CSPs need to embrace IoT innovation, accelerate time to market and adopt a more experimental mindset.
Above all, they need to offer complete vertical specific solutions that will develop in collaboration with a partner ecosystem. For those CSPs that harness the power of a partner ecosystem, 97% of enterprises and SMBs would consider purchasing new technology solutions from CSPs, and a full 100% would consider working with them to develop 5G/IoT-based solutions.
