Omdia: China Mobile tops 2023 digital strategy benchmark as telcos strive to move beyond business as usual
"East Asian operators account for three of the top-four places in the benchmark, demonstrating that service providers in the region are among the most advanced in the world," said Dario Talmesio, Research Director, Service Provider Strategy & Regulation, Omdia. "China Mobile is showing a particularly impressive speed of change, with digital transformation services now accounting for more than 25% of service revenues. China Mobile is rapidly turning itself into a TechCo operator with an array of digital services beyond connectivity."
A further striking result is that UAE-based e& (formerly Etisalat), which is covered for the first time in this edition of the benchmark, is ranked equal fifth alongside Telefónica.
"e&'s strong showing is based on its new strategy, unveiled in early 2022, of transforming itself into a global technology and investment group—a strategy that it is pursuing vigorously," said Matthew Reed , Chief Analyst, Service Provider Markets, Omdia.
Bharti Airtel is ranked seventh in the 2023 benchmark, up from ninth place in 2022 following Airtel's launch of 5G in
India in late 2022 and as Airtel continues to develop its sizeable portfolio of digital services.
