Huawei maps out open ROADS for a new digital ecosystem

摘要

The telecoms industry is caught between its past and its future. The old systems and structures are crumbling as the market lurches towards a full-blooded digital economy. Mobile network operators, its gatekeepers, must reinvent themselves if they are to grasp the opportunities only just coming into view. "Operators have, by definition, offered a predefined communications package until now. But, in the digital economy, there are different rules. The telecoms industry has to keep pace. Offering predefined services is not good enough anymore," remarks Dr Dong Sun, Chief Architect of Digital Transformation at Huawei. That was Huawei's essential message this month as it hosted an open forum at Mobile World Congress to thrash out the industry's future in the digital age. Huawei wants the operator community to enable the transformation of other industries even as it changes its own.
