Every year at the Mobile World Congress's inauguration address, the GSMA president, the association organizing the event, cries and asks authorities to change the regulation, begging for support and charges against OTTs like Google or Meta for doing business taking advantage of carriers.


The reality is that there is no life without telecom. With so much success and billions of clients, why are carriers' presidents so pessimistic and sad? What is going on in the telecom industry? What are the correct prices for telecom services? Is the telecom industry collapsing due to the very low prices of the services? Is there a real war between carriers and OTT (Google and Meta)?


In this conference/debate, really a creative dialogue, organized by the Master in Digital Communication and New Technologies of Abat Oliba University in collaboration with the Society of Communications Consultants International, we will answer these questions and more as we walk through the present and future of the telecom industry, their services offerings, their business models, their challenges, opportunities, and risk from a completely independent point of view.
