The shift to mobile is making gaming an area of focus for a growing range of operators. Meanwhile, technologies such as cloud, the metaverse and generative AI are helping to reshape the face of digital gaming. In this report, based on our December 2023 consumer survey, we analyse how consumer gaming behaviour is changing across important areas.

Satellite IoT connectivity and applications have been around for some time, but adoption has been hampered by high pricing and technical complexities. However, over the last few years, 3GPP 5G standards have included compatibility for non-terrestrial networks (NTNs).

To achieve digital inclusion and transformation targets in the Caribbean islands, it is crucial to understand how 4G and 5G connectivity gaps will evolve in the period to 2030 under prevailing market conditions. For this, we quantify the additional investment required to bridge mobile coverage and usage gaps in the Caribbean islands by 2030.

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. In this edition, we show how AIS aims to capture the 5G opportunity through 5G network leadership, segmented 5G offerings and the delivery of new experiences with 5G.

Connectivity is a fundamental requirement in crisis settings, but the needs of crisis-affected communities are often poorly understood, under-appreciated and under-supported. This report explores the connectivity challenges faced by crisis-affected communities and the efforts to bridge the mobile coverage gap in humanitarian settings.

Mobile data traffic has experienced massive growth globally, driven by increasing smartphone adoption, rising data usage and the proliferation of high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and gaming. Operators must invest heavily in network upgrades, while ensuring monetisation strategies keep pace with increasing demands and competitive pressures.

Setting aside dedicated spectrum for enterprises has been seen as a way of incentivising private network adoption and digitalisation. This research is the first of its kind to apply robust statistical analysis to the impact of spectrum set-asides. The results highlight the need to consider the unintended and undesired consequences of spectrum set-asides, particularly as there is no evidence of a clear benefit.
