Based on Moorhouse’s most recent work, they have identified 9 themes that they see across industry to watch in 2023, covering everything from strategy, organisation and workplace, to new technology, products and services, through to decommissioning and sustainability. This article outlines our perspective and practical experience in these areas.
According to Moorhouse, telco and media businesses continue to evolve and integrate at an ever-increasing pace. We have seen the UK’s leading 10 AltNets increase their build rates by 28% over the last 6 months, while Video on Demand (VoD) subscriptions revenues have increased by 26% and online video advertising CAGR has increased by 38% from 2016 – 2021.
