Telco Leadership of NaaS?

In the computing market, network as a service is touted by some as an alternative form of procuring platform and functions, including hardware, software and security. Some argue connectivity providers can play a big role in the market, perhaps even leading it. 


Some of us might argue that is extremely unlikely to happen, based on historical precedent. ABI Research expects that by 2030, just under 90 percent of enterprises will have migrated at least 25 percent of their global network infrastructure to be consumed within a NaaS model.

But is it so logical that connectivity providers will emerge as leaders? NaaS is about the computing architecture, and connectivity providers never have been able to grab leadership in enterprise computing. 


Sure, many things could happen, but are unlikely. Telco leadership of NaaS seems in that category.
