Service performance visibility: exploring global views on SLAs and enterprise success
Please sign in or register for a free public account to access this report.
Over the course of several analyses this year, we’ve examined the relationship between 5G networks, enterprise services, network/service performance visibility and service-oriented SLAs. First, we outlined the importance of enterprise services and standalone 5G services to operator strategies. Next, we detailed the importance of service guarantees to future enterprise services. Following this, with input from leading operators focused on enterprise, we highlighted current views around enterprise SLAs and network performance requirements, particularly as services integrate diverse cloud and edge assets –this last point was the focus of our latest analysis.
For most operators, enterprise services are a strategic endeavour – which includes expanding existing offers or moving into new markets – so it is important to understand the view of operators as a whole (and not just those focused on enterprise). To end this series of analyses, we therefore examine the results of a recent global survey of 100 operators to get a broader outlook on enterprise services, SLAs and service visibility.

The Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2025
Mobile connectivity supports efforts to develop modern, inclusive and sustainable digital nations in Asia Pacific, facilitating the increasing integration of transformative technologies such as AI into daily activities for individuals and businesses. In 2024, the mobile sector accounted for 5.6% of GDP in Asia Pacific, contributing $950 billion in value. This is expected to rise to $1.4 trillion by 2030, equivalent to 6.6% of GDP, as the impacts of 5G technology become more widespread across local economies. To fully unlock this potential, fostering digital trust and ensuring the sustainability of the industry have become key priorities for stakeholders across the region's digital ecosystem. This means driving 5G monetisation, addressing the scam economy and mitigating cybersecurity threats, alongside bridging investment gaps, balancing innovation with regulations and implementing effective spectrum policies.
The mobile churn challenge: where loyalty is lowest and four recommendations for operators
The latest consumer survey by GSMA Intelligence reveals that around one in seven mobile users changed their service provider over the previous 12 months. The main reasons for churn have stayed largely unchanged over the last five years, at the aggregate level, with value for money by far the top reason. However, variations exist between consumer segments in terms of the degree of churn and the drivers.
MWC Shanghai 2025: a window into the future?
MWC Shanghai is in the books for another year, having attracted 45,000 visitors (from 12,500 companies), along with 400 exhibitors and partner groups. The numbers were up from the 2024 event by 13% and 92% respectively. This analysis highlights the key takeaways and implications from meetings, summits and announcements at the event – and in particular, whether the progress seen in China can be mapped to other regions.
