Gulf Business
Writing in Gulf Business, BCG’s Kaustubh Wagle discusses the importance of telecom operating companies (telcos) in securing the Middle East’s digital future. As a fundamental building block of digital communication and interconnection, the telecom industry is uniquely positioned to propel the region’s larger digitization agenda—but only if certain challenges are confronted and mitigated. With massive investment spurring innovation and adaptation in the field, Wagle explains how telcos can create shareholder value while promoting the Middle East’s social, economic, and technological development.
