Businesses will see two clear tiers emerge: low-cost commodity connectivity and premium, outcome-driven solutions built on 5G, AI, and cloud platforms. The post explains the forces behind this change, what it means for business leaders, and why the future of telecom is about strategic partnerships, not just the lowest price.
