Episode Description

Today’s buzz: Startups in Telco. The globally booming telecommunications industry faces the herculean task of offering superb, multi-channel user experiences while maintaining the integrity of their global service and infrastructure. Telco’s need help! But can smart tech startups poised to enhance the mobile platform have a significant impact if carrier and government policies continue to vary dramatically country-to-country? And how closely should these startups align with Telco industry giants? The experts speak. Wendy Chen, SILK: “The future of how we work and communicate will be defined by the emerging world.” Yaniv Mor, Xplenty: “Big Data is the new lifeline for Telecommunications giants – a goldmine waiting to be explored!” Gowri Shankar, Naya Ventures: “Facebook purchase of Whatsapp is actually a steal. The mobile operators probably lost twice that number in revenues in the last four years.” Join us for Startups and Telcos: Let’s Talk!
