Telco bosses toast return of MWC but exhibitors, big crowds missing
- Monday | 28th June, 2021
With the acceleration of digitalisation during the coronavirus crisis, cybersecurity and data governance are taking centre stage, the chiefs of Telefonica, Deutsche Telekom and France’s Orange said, adding that building trust with consumers was key. “Data cannot be extricated without compensation – it’s called digital dignity,” Telefonica CEO Jose-Maria Alvarez-Pallete said. But, in 2030, connectivity will be a human right,” Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Hoettges said. “I promise next year that Deutsche Telekom and all of us will be back again in Barcelona,” said Hoettges, who joined by video link from the company’s headquarters in Bonn, Germany. Most telcos are betting big on 5G, with partnerships announced at MWC spanning the cloud, software-as-a-service and traditional mobile and broadband operations.
