Telecom in a COVID world

It has now been about a year since COVID-19 began wreaking havoc. Any discussion of COVID-19 vis a vis the telecom industry is trivial in comparison to the loss and devastation that the virus has brought to so many. That said, the one-year anniversary is as good a time as any to look back and see how the pandemic has affected our behaviors and the industry’s ability to respond to this new reality.

COVID-19 has affected nearly every aspect of our lives, from the way we work to the way we enjoy our time off. Among the telecom-related changes that the virus has brought us, perhaps the three most significant are:

  1. A greater focus on increasing internet bandwidth
  2. Accelerating 5G deployments to provide a high-speed internet alternative
  3. Improving household internet with fiber-to-the-home (FTTH)
