Keynote Panel: Sharing risks & responsibilities in the evolving subsea ecosystem

The partnership dynamics between operators and hyperscalers have shifted significantly, as hyperscalers continue to drive investment in large-scale infra projects. Collaboration is key to leverage important relationships with regulators to secure permitting and access to supply chain partners, as well as gaining a share in the emerging competitive routes. This panel will cover incisive questions, such as: 

• If telcos can’t compete on raw capacity, where can they add real value alongside hyperscalers?  

• How do hyperscalers view evolving subsea consortium partnerships?  

• What are the regulatory challenges, and how does this vary by region?  

• Are telcos at risk of dependence on hyperscalers?  

• Are nations dependent on hyperscalers? 

• Are hyperscalers at risk of being seen as too powerful in critical infrastructure?
