Spectrum for new entrants, lessons learned

Enterprises will spend 10% of their revenues on digital transformation through to 2032, which brings new B2B opportunities for technology suppliers, including operators. This report analyses the key findings and implications from a GSMA Intelligence survey, which surveyed 6,342 enterprises across 50 countries and 10 vertical sectors worldwide to gain insight into their digital transformation.

GSMA Intelligence surveyed 6,342 enterprises across 50 countries and 10 vertical sectors worldwide to gain insight into their digital transformation. This dashboard provides full survey data in a consistent and structured way – a valuable asset for technology suppliers looking to focus on specific vertical sectors, countries or customer size and for end users of digital transformation technologies, who can assess how they compare with their peers across multiple areas.

As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly central to key economic and social outcomes, policymakers are placing a greater emphasis on security and resilience. A key development in this context is the European Commission’s proposal to strengthen cybersecurity requirements through an updated regulatory framework – Cybersecurity Act 2 (known as CSA2). This includes provisions that require the removal of critical equipment supplied by designated high-risk vendors from telecoms infrastructure within a defined timeframe. GSMA Intelligence has conducted unique research to assess the cost of removing critical components from high-risk vendors from European telecoms networks.
