Cracking the Code: How to Build Profitable and Flexible 5G Network Slice Pricing Models

Alejandro Cadenas — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Finding an effective pricing model for 5G network slicing is challenging due to its novelty and complexity. Operators must account for customization in each slice, such as latency, reliability, and resource allocation. Customers often struggle to understand its value, complicating adoption. Pricing models must be flexible and take into account resource scarcity, planned vs. on-demand slices, and specific technical requirements such as bandwidth and latency. Dynamic and tiered pricing structures are essential to accommodate different use cases and industries.

"Pricing strategies for 5G slices are challenging, as we are talking about a service that is completely new to the market; therefore, pricing must reflect both technical and commercial dynamics and must adapt to resource scarcity and customer value. If slicing is priced effectively and the user and payer remains at the center of the model, it can unleash a full new generation of long-tail services that have traditionally been very difficult for telcos to address." — Associate Vice President Alejandro Cadenas, 5G Monetization and Adoption, IDC Europe

EMEA Emerging Technologies Radar and Investment Plans, 2024: A Deep Dive into the 2024 EMEA Emerging Technologies Survey Results

Lapo Fioretti — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey investigates the latest trends in the EMEA emerging technologies market, assessing adoption rates and plans across organizations, investments, drivers and barriers to adoption, and the key personas involved in the decision-making process around emerging technologies. The study is based on IDC's EMEA Emerging Technologies Survey, carried out in September 2024 among 800 EMEA organizations.

Despite resilient investments and adoption plans, most emerging technologies are still not reaching higher maturity levels due to lack of advanced use cases and lack of ROI.

"ROI from most emerging technologies is not immediate; businesses need to have the necessary resources and expertise to successfully integrate these technologies into their operations," said Lapo Fioretti, senior research analyst, EMEA Emerging Technologies Strategies.

2024 Canadian Enterprise Communications Spending, Management, and Remote Work Survey Results

Praveen Datta — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey focuses on overall communications spend as well as expectations for increasing or decreasing spend on specific communications services, segmented by business size, industry, and region for Canadian enterprises.

This presentation also provides insights on whether services of telephony, network, and IT are managed together or separately, by business size.

This presentation also provides insights on current and future demand for communications services that enable work-from-home and remote work.

This is a refresh of IDC’s annual communications survey of enterprises of all size segments, across all regions and vertical markets in Canada. Unlike previous years where all data for all topics was delivered in one survey document, this year, IDC is publishing multiple topic-focused survey documents from our annual survey to share more findings and to help our users find relevant topic-based data more easily.

There is a considerable volume of data from our annual survey beyond what is provided in this presentation, and more detailed cross-tabs can also be provided. We encourage you to contact your IDC account representative if you have any specific questions about a market or segment of interest.

State of the Connected Enterprise: Overview of Trends in IoT, Edge, and Private Network Adoption and Investment

Paul Hughes — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey presentation is sourced from IDC’s Future Enterprise Connectivity Survey, fielded in August 2024 and capturing connectivity technology priorities, networking challenges, and investment expectations from 751 enterprise decision-makers worldwide across 19 countries and 18 vertical industries.

IDC’s 2024 Future Enterprise Connectivity Survey shows connectivity services budgets for 2024 trend higher than 2023, with over one-half of all enterprises expecting higher spend across key segments than in 2023. While data security ranks as the top IT challenge, more than one-quarter of all enterprises are struggling to integrate AI, IoT, and newer technologies.

Looking ahead to 2025, two-thirds of enterprises worldwide expect to increase spending on IoT solutions over the next 12 months, and more than half expect to increase spending on multi-access edge computing solutions.

Telco’s Network Virtualization/Cloudification Capex to Grow Over Next Five years

Ajeet Das, Peter Chahal — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Presentation illustrates the ratio of capex spent by the telco operators on the wired and wireless infrastructure for network function virtualization and cloudification. The overall telco capex remains flat over the next few years. However, as telco operators transition their network to monetize bandwidth, latency, and business agility to bring new services to their end customers, an accelerated shift of capex is more toward virtualization and cloudification of the network infrastructure.

U.S. Business Wireline Telecommunications Services Forecast, 2024–2028

Denise Lund, Courtney Munroe, Jason Blackwell, Avinash Naga — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC study analyzes the U.S. business wireline telecommunications services market. In addition to presenting key trends, the study forecasts business wireline voice and data services revenue through 2028.

"U.S. business wireline telecom services revenue will continue to decline by 2028," said Denise Lund, research vice president, Worldwide UC and Telecom at IDC. "But together the IP voice and broadband segments will keep the five-year CAGR for the market above water for providers that adapt and lean into the growth areas tied to business needs of the future."
