Germany Rising Adoption Of Blockchain In Telecoms But Applications Still Being Explored

摘要

1. The growing investment in blockchain by major telecoms players indicates that operators are keen to enhance their service offerings and explore additional revenue streams using the technology. 2. We see blockchain's strength in security as presenting numerous use cases for telcos: payments, fraud prevention, digital identity, Internet of Things support and realising the industrial connectivity potential of 5G. 3. We believe the short-to-medium term will see telcos increasingly engaging with blockchain - through investments and partnerships - but that widespread adoption will only be evident in the longer term, owing to the present relative immaturity of the technology.
