Key Strategies Shaping European Telco Business Model Reinvention

Ahmad Latif Ali — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective examines how telcos across the European continent can embrace bold, multipronged strategies to overcome structural challenges and unlock new value. The sector's future hinges on its ability to transition from traditional connectivity providers to agile, platform-driven digital service enablers, leveraging technology, partnerships, and scale to drive sustainable growth and support Europe's digital ambitions.

"European operators face a shared imperative: the business models that built this industry are no longer sufficient to sustain it. The most successful operators moving forward will be those that move decisively across multiple transformation pathways simultaneously," said Ahmad Latif Ali, associate vice president, Worldwide Telecommunications, IDC.

Market Forecast: Canada Consumer Communications Services Forecast, 2026–2030

Praveen Datta — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study provides the five-year forecast for the Canadian consumer communication services market and delivers insights into the drivers and inhibitors of growth.

The total market is expected to grow due to growth in wireless and internet services and despite declines in TV and wireline voice services.

"The Canadian consumer communications services market is growing at a low CAGR for the next five years; in light of inflation, this represents essentially no growth at all. Service providers must start educating consumers on the benefits of their wireless and internet services and price accordingly, rather than continuing to devalue their own services through aggressive promotional pricing," said Praveen Datta, research director, Canadian Communications Markets and Strategies at IDC.

IDC Survey: Telecom Transformation, 2026: Partner Signals

Chris Silberberg — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey, conducted in April 2026, builds upon a prior study from 2025 that explored the motivations, objectives, strategies, challenges, and partner preferences of global telecommunications service providers in their digital transformation (DX) efforts.

IDC’s 2026 Worldwide Telco DX IT, Applications, and AI Survey captures insights from 350 telecom operators across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia/Pacific regions. The findings reveal: cloud providers and generative AI model vendors have emerged as the most strategic partners for telcos executing their GenAI and agentic AI plans; telcos are consolidating around vendors that can offer more complete end-to-end portfolios in their given domain, alongside strong partnerships with hyperscalers; and security, deep telecom domain knowledge, and data governance are the defining capabilities telcos require from partners as they scale AI and agentic technologies across their operations.

IDC Survey: Telecom Operations and Monetization Highlights, 2026

Chris Silberberg — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey, conducted in April 2026, builds upon a prior study from 2025 that explored how global telecommunications service providers are prioritizing technology investments, modernizing their operational and commercial infrastructure, and scaling AI across their organizations.

IDC’s 2026 Worldwide Telco Digital Transformation (DX) IT, Applications, and AI Survey captures insights from 350 telecom operators across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia/Pacific regions. The findings show:

Urgency and execution capability diverge across operator tiers and geography, with emerging markets driven by greater transformation pressures while mature markets are scaling and monetizing capabilities already in place
Investment rationales across OSS and BSS systems are shifting away from efficiency as the primary driver toward the ability to commercialize new services rapidly and at scale.
AI has entered a proof-of-value phase in which most spending growth comes from budget reallocation rather than new money. ROI scrutiny is intensifying, and the ability to demonstrate tangible returns is becoming the defining criterion for sustained investment.
