Future of Telcos Keynotes, Smartphones,Omnichannel
Video of Telco keynote at Google premier global event - Digital Payments and TelcosI often give keynotes at Telco conferences on why Telco old business models are broken: mobile banking and digital payments. Why so many Telcos are entering the world of banks with e-Wallets and future of TelcoBanks. I have worked with many of the world's largest telcos and banks - so what of their future?
In theory, Telcos should be at the very heart of the digital revolution: after all, they provide all the bandwidth we use to access the web - whether on smartphones or by traditional broadband at home or at work. They also provide the handsets themselves. And they have the ability to track people to within one or two metres, all the time, using signals from the mobile devices they have in their pockets. In addition, their networks handle all our online payments, our diary, our email and all our web searches. Yes in many cases most of that data is encrypted, but you would be shocked to see the full extent of data that Telcos are usually able to pick up - the same is true of owners of websites you visit.
Yet the truth is that very few Telcos are really taking advantage of their potential - in particular, the data they have about your location.

I have advised hundreds of the world’s largest corporations on digital trends, and one of the biggest that CEOs and boards are now talking about is Blockchain. What is Blockchain and what does it mean for us? Could Blockchain wipe out our business, or will Blockchain help us grow? Here is a comment after my recent keynote for the global team of Generali Insurance, on Blockchain.
Blockchain means that anyone in the world with online access can prove a particular document exists, when it was sent, who it was sent to and so on. We can also prove that an event has taken place, in a way which is fully transparent to everyone who needs to know this around the world. The implications of this are going to be huge. And it will be many years before we work it all out.
