Telcos Might be their Own Best Customers for Edge Computing

With the caveat that we always can be wrong, telecom executives polled by the IBM Institute for Business Value believe edge computing will have some clear key advantages. Fully 69 percent believe edge computing--as a tool they will use themselves--will slice operating costs. 


That illustrates one aspect of edge computing: it will be a key part of service provider virtualization efforts, an internal tool to support more-agile networks that can change more rapidly, on an automated basis, in many cases.

That is separate and apart from any other value edge computing might have as a service telcos and connectivity providers help enable for retail customers or wholesale partners.
