This new dynamic also changes the way people consume and relate to different brands. Communication service providers are evolving their business and taking digital transformation initiatives to engage customers by putting them at the center of their operations. But only the deep knowledge of customers guarantees a change with value.

New business can be created in an endless market across different domains. However, the IoT value chain is complex and interactions between stakeholders are not always clear.
