Senior decision makers in the telecommunications sector face a relentless series of issues – driven by technology, social trends, financial market conditions and government regulation. Making informed choices about the future whilst focusing on the bottom line is a major challenge.

Our professionals go beyond today's challenges to anticipate the potential long and short-term consequences of shifting business, financial and technology strategies.

The telecom sector is undergoing huge transformation. Driven by changing consumer behaviour and new mobile technology, innovative and sustainable revenue opportunities need to be found – and quickly. Increasing competition from non-telecoms providers, reduced network investments and the rise of digital media and mobile technology mean that telecoms operators need to radically change their business models and service offerings to survive.

At KPMG we know that consumer demand and technological change will continue to drive the industry, and the winners will be those who can embrace new and emerging technologies whilst managing the demands of regulation, cost and network investment.
