In this instalment of the 2019 Absa Insights Series Premeshin Naidoo, Regional Head Sector: Global Clients, Absa CIB leads a panel discussion with Bora Varliyagci, Chief Executive of Digitalthings and Juanita Clark, Chief Executive, FTTX Council Africa that unpacks the future of the telecommunications sector and where future innovation lies.

Video highlights:

  • Digitisation has changed all industries and is allowing for a crossover of markets between industries.
  • Telcos enable telecommunication to various different industries which makes them well-placed to leverage this knowledge to open additional revenue streams, from healthcare to media.
  • 5G isn’t delivering ‘better’ 4G – it promises a much higher level of reliability, which opens the way for autonomous technology.
