Why Telcos need to capture the edge opportunity now

This report – sponsored by KX – leverages the findings of an interview program with operators and enterprises to learn why the commercialization of edge has been slow to date, why the time is ripe now, and what operators need to do to develop a clear strategy to take services to market.
