I am discouraged by what seems to be left of business opportunities for mobile operators. What can the GSMA do?

Operator business prospects are not promising. Big tech is a challenge and DNA seems a disappointment.

The battle for digital world dominance is stronger than ever. For smaller countries, it is also a competence race.

Every now and then the “technology war” between mobile Gs and WiFi comes up again. It is time to end this now.

Network APIs are a current telco big bet, but many have doubts. Will it take off? … and how much will the impact be?

Zuckerberg has cut down on Metaverse spending. Was it a big bet that failed? .. or will something still be around?

The European Commission is planning to issue the Digital Networks Act soon. Geopolitics will be interesting.

5G and 6G will be challenged by AI network traffic, technically and commercially. Can it be monetized?

A look at “ISAC” this time. Will it work? Does it make sense? Will anyone pay for it? Will it delay or complicate 6G?

Mobile Satellites Services are hot these days again – maybe more than ever. It is hyped, but this time I think it will happen.

Will 6G be a success or a failure? Will it be Balkanized? It may be pushed to market too early – which must be avoided.

Private 5G networks are “hot” but are taking time. Is it due to cost, complexity, lack of devices or competence?

MWC 2025 took place in Barcelona again. Not much new this year, 5G rollout is ongoing and AI is all over the place.

Vi lever i en verden av stadig økende cyber-trusler – og digitalisering er på alles lepper. Hva bør man gjøre med det?

Slukkingen av 2G i Norge har blest om dagen, mye pga alle IoT-duppeditter som avhenger av det. Hvem har ansvaret?

I have had discussions on how to make 5G meet its promises on digitalization lately. Some comments are offered.

Same old story. What is the last G? What is the purpose of 6G? … and who is it really for? Will operators pay for it?

MWC 2023 took place in Barcelona again. Not much new this year, 5G rollout is ongoing and MNOs want Capex relief.

Indoor coverage is a great challenge for 5G. A neutral host combined with a new business model can make it happen.

Hyping the metaverse or building the future? Back to building the basics again – which is what will make it happen.
