Last week I gave a keynote at the first-ever in-person MVNO Nation Live conference in beautiful Valencia, Spain.
It was thrilling to talk to all of the entrepreneurial leaders at this event. They clearly see the huge upside of embracing public cloud technology and are poised to use it to become some of the world’s greatest brands.
I’ve turned my keynote into this podcast episode. Listen now to hear:
- Examples of how telcos and MVNOs are benefiting from public cloud technology [02:48];
- How cloud-native telco tools (like Totogi!) can help MVNOs streamline work, increase speed to market, and lower costs [05:21];
- Why giffgaff put data at the heart of its business [12:53]; and
- How MVNOs can boost their NPS and ARPU by delivering an amazing, personalized customer experience [13:55].
When you’re done listening, check out the links to Totogi and the AWS Marketplace below, and contact us for a demo. You can find the transcript for this episode here.
