Tarifica's latest Data Dive, a monthly publication providing insights and analysis from its proprietary Telecom Pricing Intelligence Platform, reveals that the commoditization of 5G services is beginning…

The adoption of 4G and 5G technologies has led to a remarkable surge in mobile data consumption, prompting regulators worldwide to make substantial amounts of new spectrum available to mobile operators. However, there are now signs the growth in mobile data consumption is slowing. In a new white paper, Hans-Martin Ihle, Richard Marsden, and Yasmine Frizlen examine trends in spectrum pricing and develop a new method for forecasting mobile data demand that better fits the available data.

Excited to share my first Medium article on "Telecom Data Storytelling: Key Insights on Customers, Churn and Satisfaction", where I explore how data-driven insights are transforming the telecom industry. This wouldn’t have been possible without the invaluable guidance of my teachers and mentors Ammar Jamshed (MSc DS) and Musa Raza Abidi, and the support of Ai DataYard team. A huge thank you to everyone who has helped me along this journey. I’m grateful for the learning and growth!

Useful as well, this 5G. mobile data

Bilgecag Aydogdu presenting our work on #mobile data to predict displacements at the #DataforPolicy2024 conference. Mobile data come in different flavors, and has a lot of potential, but good regulations and collaboratives should be in place for safe, trustworthy, and sustainable usage of such sensitive data sources.

Telcos, or telecoms, are emerging as one of the industries that depend on geospatial analysis the most. Network coverage, expansion, cannibalization, efficiency, all require having detailed geospatial insights. Check out these examples of how CARTO provides those insights.

For some time, I've been criticising the quality and detail of the market data we get from regulators and telcos. In particular, I have long dismissed the idea that a single data point for "mobile traffic volumes" is useful or meaningful. As I discussed last year in various posts on here, plus a report on Metrics I wrote for STL Partners, we really need to get more granular insight into what makes up those traffic figures. That's especially important for policymakers, whether they are looking at spectrum or competition issues, or want to drive uptake of gigabit connectivity. We particularly need to distinguish between indoor vs. outdoor use of mobile, and distinguish between growing traffic from mobile broadband (mostly smartphones) and fixed wireless access / FWA (mostly home broadband), or others. In many regions, I believe that FWA is now the main contributor to mobile data growth, as MBB slows to the 5-10% on a true "like for like" basis. I can even foresee scenarios in future where MBB traffic shrinks. We should also be asking about peaks of traffic, rather than averages or totals. I've written this article on RCR Wireless News, which fits into that theme, in reference to CTIA recent announcement about traffic on US mobile carriers' 4G/5G networks. My view is that this type of data should ideally come from Federal Communications Commission or another government agency, based on their own requirements and definitions, rather than an industry association. [Disclosure: I am an advisor to Spectrum for the Future, an advocacy group, and have previously worked with others such as DSA. As you can tell, I have my own strong opinions about all of this]. If MNOs want to get access to more spectrum in future, regulators should be asking them for much more detail to back up their claims. If they refuse to provide it, they should crowdsource it, or estimate it internally. This is especially important where they seek frequencies that don't work well through walls, or which have good alternatives for specific applications such as point-to-multipoint FWA. As I’ve said before - we need *good* metrics, not easy metrics. #5G #6G #spectrum #mobile #FWA #wireless #metrics
