Caroline Chappell, expert in cloud native technologies, explains that if operators are serious about network convergence (where siloed network domains are brought together into a single network entity to support new enterprise services such as network slicing and network-as-a-service), then they must acquire a cloud-native programmable network platform as a strategic priority for 2024.Read the associated article.

Business revenue accounted for more than a quarter of operators’ total revenue in 2023 (based on results from around 60 operators detailed in our Business revenue tracker). However, average growth rates fell compared with 2022, mainly due to the difficult economic conditions facing many businesses. IT services such as cloud and security are among the main revenue growth drivers, and our Business-services-related M&A tracker indicates that operators continue to invest in these services despite a sharp fall in the total number of acquisitions in 2023.
In this podcast, Catherine Hammond, Research Director, and Matt Small, Analyst, discuss what is (and isn’t) driving operator business revenue growth and consider the prospects for the rest of 2024.

In this podcast, space experts, Christopher Baugh and Prachi Kawade discuss the changes in the Earth observation market, where data has historically been the main revenue driver. They explore the changes that satellite operators, such as Planet Insights, have made in terms of venturing downstream and enhancing their core offerings. Customers are increasingly relying on analytics for decision-making, which is fuelling growth in the value-added services, intellectual property and big data segments. Chris and Prachi forecast that the demand for data and downstream services from commercial and government and military sectors will surge in the next decade.
