| |July 20174CIOReviewEditorialT elecom companies face increasingly tough times as digitization reshapes the industry landscapeGrowth in smartphone usage signals continuing opportunity for all telecom sub-sectors, including wireless and wireline/broadband carriers, network equipment/infrastructure companies, and device manufacturers. Nevertheless, we expect there could be a change in how these opportunities are manifested. Within the carrier segment, investment in emerging areas has historically focused on "connectivity-first," which has allowed carriers to leverage their core strengths, including their networks. However, in 2017 we may see a shift toward areas with a higher growth potential that goes well beyond carriers' core connectivity business.Two potential areas of focus are content and the Internet of Things (IoT). The long-standing promise of delivering content to any screen is finally becoming a reality, enabled by advances in network technology and higher speeds, as well as enhanced content at the carrier level, whether owned or resold. The consumer-oriented "things" that comprise the IoT--including wearables, connected cars, smart homes, and the government and enterprise-connected "things" such as smart businesses, and smart cities­are likely areas of growth in the coming years. Consumer demand for digital technologies that make it easier to control their homes and cars has grown and will help to drive incremental revenue in the ecosystem.Digitization offers telecom companies an opportunity to rebuild their market positions, reimagine their business systems, and create innovative offerings for customers. Not surprisingly, most executives consider digitization to be one of their top priorities, but few companies are close to capturing its full potential.In this issue, CIOReview presents to you "20 Most Promising Telecom Solution Providers" who have successfully helped businesses with their innovative, flexible and scalable offerings.
