"Compliance has a cost. Compliance is difficult. But unfortunately, compliance is not optional," says Chrystel Erotokritou of Access Partnership.

As global regulators tighten rules around telecommunications and cloud services, companies must adapt quickly to remain compliant while maintaining efficiency. At Cloud Connections 2025, Erotokritou will lead a roundtable discussion on navigating regulatory landscapes in cloud technology, offering providers critical insights into compliance, fraud prevention, and risk mitigation.

Regulatory Crackdowns on Telecom Providers

Governments worldwide are introducing stricter compliance measures to curb fraud and illegal activities. Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, numbering resource restrictions, and privacy laws such as the GDPR are reshaping how telecom providers operate. In the U.S., the FCC recently fined a provider $1 million for transmitting a deepfake robocall mimicking President Joe Biden, highlighting the growing consequences of non-compliance.

KYC & Numbering Resource Challenges

Erotokritou emphasizes that KYC requirements are expanding, forcing providers to implement rigorous identity verification before offering services. These measures increase operational costs, create onboarding delays, and require new fraud prevention strategies. Meanwhile, numbering resources—essential for service delivery—are becoming harder to obtain, as regulators limit the suballocation of numbers and tighten usage restrictions.

Mitigating Risk While Staying Competitive

To navigate evolving compliance landscapes, providers must develop strategic regulatory frameworks that ensure adherence while preserving business efficiency and profitability. At Access Partnership, Erotokritou and her team help companies obtain telecom licenses, secure numbering resources, and implement best practices to remain compliant without sacrificing growth.

Join the Discussion at Cloud Connections 2025

Erotokritou’s interactive roundtable will provide a practical roadmap for telecom providers facing these regulatory challenges. The session will offer real-world strategies for mitigating risk, optimizing compliance, and maintaining competitive advantages in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
