THE CEO DEBATE: Operators should play to their strengths as connectivity enablers, leaving agile players to cement their position as service innovators

Operators should focus on protecting their core business rather than competing for market share in content services, devices and multimedia
Operators cannot compete with media aggregators and so they should seek to monetize partnerships and access to their network
Operators do not possess the capabilities to produce or source in-demand content
Operator ownership of connectivity is a greater asset than currently realized

Are you FOR or AGAINST?
