The Motion: Telcos need to move quickly to stop the hyperscalers encroaching on their turf

The motion was DEFEATED at the event  - watch the live Q&A session discussing the motion (now available on-demand)

As everything goes to software, virtual and ‘as a service’ against a multi-cloud backdrop, can the telcos and the Hyperscalers play nicely together? Who is encroaching on whose patch? Have the different Hyperscalers muscled their way into the connectivity business or are telcos leveraging their national strongholds to build a stronger future for themselves. Who needs who?
