Transport network transformation : A critical component of the CSP to DSP journey

Communication service providers (CSPs) are on a journey to transform themselves into digital service providers (DSPs). Per a recent Optica report, 51% of CSPs believe that their digital transformation is “well advanced” across their business, compared to only 39% last year.

Video streaming named the USA’s killer app for 5G, as the tech prediction season opens early
