The global version of the report is published annually at MWC Barcelona, while regional editions are published throughout the year.

Private 5G is gaining traction as verticals accelerate their digital transformation plans. Private 5G activity in Asia Pacific has so far been concentrated in the region's most advanced countries. But momentum is beginning to grow elsewhere too, as evidenced by developments in India and Thailand. The changing competitive landscape means that operators will need to develop new expertise and commercial relationships to realise the private 5G opportunity. This report identifies five main considerations for operators.

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.

This report is the first of a three-part series on the technological and business implications of sustainability in the telecoms industry. The analysis presents an evidence-based view of why going green makes business sense, and how this can be done effectively as part of sustainable digital transformation. GSMA Intelligence commissioned new global consumer and enterprise surveys to complement its own data analysis. The research covers the financial and reputational case for going green beyond the fundamental environmental urgency.

GSMA Intelligence's Chart of the Month is a visual way of telling an important story in the mobile and broader tech ecosystem. From the shape and size of markets to trends in consumer behaviour, we aim to provide food for thought through informative visuals designed to bring colour and clarity to complex issues facing the industry. In this edition, we highlight progress so far with the rollout of 5G standalone networks around the world.

To fully understand the state of automation among mobile operators, a deep view into operator perspectives and plans is critical. Leveraging a global survey of mobile operators, this Radar captures current thinking on automation, what is needed to execute on its promise, and the misunderstandings that could be holding it back.

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 look at Verizon's approach to the metaverse by focusing on 5G networks and edge computing.

Against the current backdrop of growing interest and activity in the metaverse, getting relevant insights is crucial to formulate strategies and plans. This dashboard provides insights into consumer awareness of the metaverse and what they expect from it. It also provides details into what operators think about the metaverse opportunity and where they are with their metaverse strategies.

The metaverse is still in its infancy, but the pace of developments and announcements has accelerated in the last 12 months, indicating growing interest and activity. In this report, we present our views on how the metaverse will likely develop over the period to 2030 and the building blocks required for the metaverse to take shape. Importantly, we identify and compare five main routes for operators seeking to monetise the metaverse.

GSMA Intelligence constantly monitors mobile markets across the world to capture the most recent trends and share the latest available data. This analysis looks at the key revisions made to the mobile connection forecasts over the previous quarter and the drivers underpinning the changes.

In this report we take Netflix's Q4 2022 financial results as an opportunity to examine the company's subscriber and financial performance, in addition to analysing its latest initiatives such as paid sharing and its new ad-supported tier.

The GSMA Intelligence Global Mobile Trends report is back, examining all the biggest developments to expect in telecoms and the broader TMT space in 2023. This comprehensive report draws on GSMA Intelligence data, survey findings and industry conversations to focus on the trends that matter most and what they mean for those in telecoms and beyond.

It is well understood that running multiple network generations is a burden on operators. Add to that a future focus on diverse technology evolutions and the problem could be exponentially worse, even if some are still years away. While this might have been a theoretical concern in the past, it's likely to come to the fore in 2023 as 5G standalone (SA), 5G-Advanced and 6G all clamour for attention.

The mix of pay-TV access technologies - whether satellite, cable, IPTV or pay DTT - varies widely by market. However, certain trends are consistently emerging around the world, shaped by developments such as the accelerated rollout of fibre broadband networks. In particular, IPTV is set to become the leading technology for pay-TV access, with implications for players across the industry.

Passive IoT refers to the soon-to-be-specified IoT technology, which comprises sensors that will be smaller, cheaper and greener compared to previous generations of IoT (e.g. NB-IoT, LTE-M). This report explores the development and commercialisation activity of passive IoT and provides a glimpse into future applications.

Mobile connectivity is central to delivering digital transformation and improving the lives of citizens in the Pacific Islands - in particular, accelerating socioeconomic advancement across areas such as healthcare, education, digital commerce, agritech and tourism.

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.
