How has 5G catalyzed a new paradigm?
Matt and co-host Liliana Schwartz-Brunner sit down with another guest at MWC 2023, Barcelona: Debika Bhattacharya, Chief Product Officer at Verizon Business.
“This is one of the areas where Verizon has evolved, like most telcos historically, being vertically integrated. They like to build or buy – do it themselves. For 5G to be successful, we have to have an ecosystem of partners. So we've partnered with all the major hyperscalers, with the software vendors. We've partnered with systems integrators because we know from a customer point of view, they need to solve the end-to-end problem, not just a part of the problem. So I think the marketplace is developing. I think it's important that customers want to be able to plug-and-play and pick the right partners and the right components. It's still a maturing market, but it's absolutely critical for success in this space.”
