What Is Next in Generative AI for Asia/Pacific Telcos?

This IDC Market Perspective is an extension of IDC's report Generative AI Readiness: Are Telcos Geared Up for the Generative AI Revolution? that delves into the various aspects required to initiate generative AI (GenAI) deployments for communication SPs (CSPs). This study further provides a glimpse of developments in GenAI solutions for telecom by CSPs and/or by the vendor or partner ecosystem. "As CSPs step on the gas to deploy GenAI solutions, they must determine the route taken to deploy GenAI solutions. Can they do it by themselves? Can a vendor, who has telecom-specific solutions, help? This report aims to provide insights on addressing some of the common challenges related to GenAI deployments and the options available to CSPs to choose the path for deployment," says Swathi Arunaa, senior research analyst, Telecom and IoT, IDC Asia/Pacific.
