When Telcos Become Best Friends...
In this episode, we unpack why telcos sometimes decide to bury the hatchet and to collaborate rather than to compete to the death. The creation of JV or broader collaborative initiatives is not a trend yet, it could become a way for telcos to create a common front to tackle the next wave of connectivity and monetization. Among others, we look at Aduna, the multi-operator network API venture designed to give developers easier access to telco capabilities at scale, and the newly announced AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile D2D joint venture, a rare collaboration between U.S. rivals aimed at facing off against a real or perceived threat from Starlink. The episode explores what's driving these alliances, where they could create new revenue, and the strategic trade-offs around competition, governance, and execution.
