Amid the thrill of speed, why 5G could put you at risk. (Hint: cybersecurity loopholes).

5G has improved telcos’ scalability quotient, but it has also introduced new risks because of the virtualised nature of the networks. Despite all the speed and power, breaking into 5G networks will be a walk in the park for cyber attackers if loopholes are not plugged in the beginning itself.

Tracking telecom’s key strategy shift: data signals a move from subscriber acquisition to retention

As subscribers move to service providers that offer the best value for money, competition between telcos is increasing. However, 5G is unlikely to drive the addition of new subscribers. In the coming months, there is a chance of another round of price war among telcos, but it will be more focused on retention than acquisition.
