The findings reveal: cloud providers and generative AI model vendors have emerged as the most strategic partners for telcos executing their GenAI and agentic AI plans; telcos are consolidating around vendors that can offer more complete end-to-end portfolios in their given domain, alongside strong partnerships with hyperscalers; and security, deep telecom domain knowledge, and data governance are the defining capabilities telcos require from partners as they scale AI and agentic technologies across their operations.</P> IDC Survey Fri, 19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Chris Silberberg https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=lcEUR154634426&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication IDC Link Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Michelle Morgan, Paul Hughes, Denise Lund, Oru Mohiuddin https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54600026&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Survey, conducted in April 2026, builds upon a prior study from 2025 that explored how global telecommunications service providers are prioritizing technology investments, modernizing their operational and commercial infrastructure, and scaling AI across their organizations.</P><P>IDC’s 2026 <I>Worldwide </I><I>Telco </I><I>Digital Transformation (</I><I>DX</I><I>)</I><I> IT, Applications</I><I>,</I><I> and AI Survey </I>captures insights from 350 telecom operators across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia/Pacific regions.

At the same time, configuration and patching tools are moving toward greater automation, aiming to achieve fully AI-enabled autonomy in device life-cycle maintenance.</P> Market Presentation Wed, 17 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Phil Hochmuth https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=lcEUR154587126&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>On May 20, 2026, Telia announced the launch of Telia IoT Connect, a sovereign Internet of Things service where connectivity and data are fully managed within Sweden's borders. The service targets organizations requiring secure, resilient IoT communication for business and mission-critical applications, built on Telia's nationwide 4G and 5G networks and offering a long-term platform for implementing, streamlining, and scaling IoT solutions while reducing dependence on global suppliers. This announcement represents one of the first commercial-grade sovereignty-framed IoT managed services from a European operator explicitly positioned as an alternative to hyperscaler-dependent models. It signals that the European 5G monetization narrative has entered a phase in which sovereignty is no longer a regulatory constraint but a primary commercial value proposition and a differentiator in enterprise sales.</P> IDC Link Tue, 16 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Alejandro Cadenas https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=lcEUR154591626&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication IDC Link Tue, 16 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Ahmad Latif Ali https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=CA53407926&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC presentation provides the five-year forecast for the Canadian communications services market for 2026–2030 and delivers insights into the drivers and inhibitors of growth.</P><P>"The Canadian communications services market is expected to grow in line with Canada's expected GDP growth over the forecast period, as pricing for consumer wireless and internet services continues to lag behind inflation.
