The Digital Digest: OTTs, 2022 trends and BT's Andrew Lord on QKD and hollow core fibre

In the last episode of series 3 – and 2021 – we look at network
costs, monetisation opportunities and future mobile trends.


Natalie covers the OTT 2.0 debate that is unfolding in Europe –
as network investments demands grow, should the tech companies
contribute towards telco network capex?


Outlining a new money-maker for the industry, Saf explores the
2022 outlook from Analysys Mason, which said more will venture
into gaming next year. And Alan brings us the headlines and
highlights from the latest Ericsson Mobility Report, which states
5G will become the fastest deployed mobile generation to date.


Joining the conversation this week we welcome Andrew Lord, senior
manager of optical networks and quantum research at BT. Andrew –
who features in our December/January cover story – talks about
QKD, global security solutions, hollow core fibre and the growing
demand for quantum physicists.


Season 3, episode 12 is presented by editor Melanie Mingas, and
features editor-at-large Alan Burkitt-Gray, deputy editor Natalie
Bannerman and reporter Saf Malik.


Before we finish for the year, a huge thanks to all the guests
who joined us in 2021 – we've enjoyed each interview and we look
forward to welcoming many more next year.
