Why should utilities be seeking out partnerships with companies a fraction of their size?
Listen to George Kibala Bauer, Director Digital Utilities, GSMA in this second episode as he reflects on underlying strategies of businesses using mobile and digital technologies to deliver basic services in emerging countries. Innovative companies are seeking out partners as the mobile companies have customer acceptance. Larger companies are partnering with the younger companies to increase their value to existing customers but also to service entirely new set of customers. But it is also the responsibility of the larger companies to use technologies to help communities come out of poverty and help nations reach climate goals. Public organizations are working with private initiatives to deliver basic services and gather data.
