Insights from the Covid-19 response
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on health and economies across the globe. It has also been a watershed moment for mobile big data (MBD) analytics, one which has brought mobile operators, governments and international agencies together to develop effective responses. In this report, multiple use cases illustrate how analytics products can help inform critical decisions, shape intervention plans and assess the impact of actions while respecting data privacy. It also offers recommendations based on detailed case studies and outlines the potential for MBD analytics to tackle a broader set of global challenges in local settings in the long term.

AI opens a new front in the fight against unwanted calls to fixed lines
Although the number of unwanted calls to fixed lines has been decreasing due to efforts from stakeholders (including operators, network and customer-premises equipment vendors and regulators), the emergence of AI, especially generative AI, could reverse this trend while also making consumers more vulnerable to scams.
