Unlock business growth with #NoBoundaries

Communications service providers (CSPs) have invested billions in their networks. Now it’s time to monetize those assets and reap the rewards. But what’s the best way to do that? According to experts Duncan Wardle, former Head of Innovation and Creativity at Disney, and Robbie Kellman Baxter, author of The Membership Economy, it’s time for CSPs to re-evaluate their thinking about monetization — focusing first on the customer and their needs, and not on the network itself. By breaking down the boundaries between users and technology, CSPs can craft innovative experiences consumers will love and enterprise customers will depend on. That’s mastering monetization.
