The Challenge of telecom: change
The industry is growing fast, and the roles of the industry are changing too, with that, there’s a big challenge that the companies may face, which is: the pressure of reinvent the way of doing business. However, it’s not only good news around the industry growth. The companies are also being threatened by the bad actors, especially fraudsters that are getting more and more sophisticated, which requires effective actions for the protection of their identity.
The Importance of the Pacific Market
For the MEF members, that are global, there’s a big interest in regions with great potential for growth. The most important factors for MEF and its members are the tendency to mobile first and economic investments. It makes the Pacific Market a very desired market for MEF.
