In spite of the prosperity created in recent years, network service providers have not shared in the party, with revenue growth either remaining flat or declining. This is about to change as the combination of 5G networks and advances in high-definition video, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), real-time control, automation and massive sensor-driven technologies gives birth to powerful new enterprise solutions. Forward-looking network service providers are leading the charge, setting up 5G labs with ecosystem partners to jointly develop these solutions. With all this, a staggering $700 billion in business-to-business value could be addressed by service providers by 2030.
