Rethinking monetizing 5G, Amdocs Podcast

Earnings show companies are approaching 5G all wrong – discussion on monetizing the promise of 5G

“It’s an evolution of connectivity,” says Anthony Goonetilleke, Group President of Technology and Head of Strategy at Amdocs. CSPs adopt 5G for many reasons and naturally they look for ROI and to enhance brand equity. “I feel we can have larger transformative impact on society,” adds Goonetillek. In this podcast we learn about the idea of looking at 5G as a method of democratizing technology that offers the chance of connecting rural communities and developing nations. People with limited capital and income gain access to technologies now only available to very high-income places and highly capitalized companies. Goonetilleke argues that once achieved, a roll out of 5G creates a great deal of ways for the CSP to monetize on their investment. “The monetization will come from the partner ecosystem.”
