We are facing massive challenges and massive ambiguity. I believe that a co-operation like ANTA can help us here to share those challenges, work on best practices together, and face it as a common organisation.
Itsuma Tanaka, DOCOMO Communications Labs (01:11):
At ANTA, what we learned, it's about collecting evidence, what everybody was actually doing.
Ahmed Hafez, Deutsche Telekom (01:17):
ANTA, for us, is a very good tool to benchmark not only what we do, but also what we communicate externally.
Sachin Verma, Rakuten Mobile (01:24):
I think this framework and this consortium help us to collectively share the knowledge and experience that we see in the individual markets across the globe.
Philippe Ensarguet, Orange (01:34):
We are in front of a massive transformation, and I think that sharing and learning all together is extremely important, and I definitely think that ANTA is the best place to do so.
