Challenges and innovations in the telecom industry
SingTel faces challenges as the industry becomes more competitive. The rise of over-the-top (OTT) services like WhatsApp, Netflix, and others pressures telecom operators to rethink their business models.
The rapid growth of 5G technology also forces SingTel to continually upgrade its infrastructure to meet demand. The company must balance investments in new technology with cost control.
