Mobile operator executives continue to believe that “disruptive competition” from over-the-top app providers is the single greatest business challenge they face. In a sense, that should also prove to the case as edge computing develops.
It remains unclear how the “edge computing as a service” develops. It likewise remains unclear what roles connectivity providers might play, although tier-one service providers hope they can themselves become suppliers of edge computing as a service.
But there will be competition for that role.
AWS Local Zone, for example, is an edge computing service directly available to enterprises. Likewise, AWS Outposts puts AWS servers directly into an enterprise data center, creating yet another way AWS becomes a supplier of edge computing services.
