Telecoms: Beyond Connectivity

Telcos face a tough challenge convincing enterprise customers they can be trusted providers of additional services beyond voice and data.

Network expertise is the telco trump card.

Living in such close proximity tends to intensify the demands that urban settlements impose on their surrounding environments.
