Operator strategies continue to evolve in the digital era as the telecoms industry seeks to capture new growth opportunities in the consumer and enterprise markets. Assessing innovation and achievements is more important than ever before. GSMA Intelligence's operator case studies provide a concise and consistent way to shine a light on and analyse operators' strategies and business models, as well as how they are launching new services.

Without sufficient low-band spectrum, the digital divide is likely to widen, and those living in rural areas will be excluded from the latest digital technologies. This report shows, for the first time, the specific economic impact of 5G using low-band spectrum. The report also provides distribution of 5G low-band benefits by use case and by region, and uncovers the industries that will benefit the most.

5G adoption is a matter of when not if, but upward migration means nothing without upward monetisation. Price premiums will provide some of this, but demonstrations of genuinely new functionality that people like and find useful is ultimately what will sustain revenue growth in the consumer segment. Sports and entertainment is an important focus area, and this piece focuses on the recent football World Cup in Qatar as a marker for 5G network capabilities.

In this report we present our key takeaways and views across five areas that saw important developments during CES 2023: the metaverse, devices, smart home, gaming and automotive. We also examine the implications for various industry players, including mobile operators, on the road ahead.

Earlier in 2022, we began a series of analyses looking at how consumers view the value of mmWave in support of 5G, based on consumer survey data from Qualcomm, spanning 4,500 consumers in nine countries across three regions. Having established some of the day-to-day issues consumers face, here we look at where consumers want mmWave 5G, what they want from it, and how this impacts their loyalty to a given operator.

Wearables continue to be a strategic focus for device manufacturers as new features are launched and the ecosystem of associated services expands. In this analysis, we examine the latest developments and innovations in wearables and outline what they mean for consumers and the mobile ecosystem.

We surveyed operators to see which services experienced the strongest growth in demand from enterprises due to Covid-19. While 2020 firmly put cloud computing on the roadmap for enterprises, security was the area of biggest growth in this latest survey. We examine the implications of this security priority for operators' plans and portfolios.

The market for connected devices in the home is set to grow steadily according to this latest infographic from GSMA Intelligence. And it's smart speakers in particular that have the potential to address consumer painpoints around device compatibility and perceived value - if installation and usage are simple and seamless.

5G's potential in verticals will define the European mobile story over the coming years. For the European Commission and national regulators, facilitating the development of 5G, alongside emerging technologies, must be a policy priority to re-establish Europe as a leading digital society. In parallel, operators should nurture 5G use cases in key verticals, which could lead to innovative monetisation models that support positive revenue growth trends.

Operators are more focused than ever on serving the enterprise sector across various industry verticals. This report presents the latest findings of the Operators in Focus: Enterprise Opportunity Survey. The survey asked 100 operators globally about their enterprise strategies.
