The telecom industry has moved well beyond just providing basic phone and internet communication services. The telecom market is now one of the principle leaders in the utilization--and provision--of technology-fueled services and solutions. This includes a broad range of IoT-enabled capabilities that deliver superior performance and enhanced customer experience. Those capabilities will be further augmented by implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) solutions. Implementation of AI/ML solutions will provide the telecom market with the technology required to fully capitalize on their vast quantities of data (both current and historic).
