How soon do towercos need to start planning for 6G? Which spectrum and antenna technologies will be central to 6G? Will 6G drive a significant new wave of operator spending on cell sites?

    Mobile consolidation in APAC: scale, spectrum and regulation

    In this episode, Analysys Mason experts Tom Rebbeck, Dion Teo and Ismael Moreno-Gomez explore the growing momentum behind mobile consolidation in Asia–Pacific (APAC). They discuss: - recent mobile mergers across APAC - why crowded markets are driving consolidation - where future activity could emerge - how regulators are weighing competition and investment - what operators should consider before pursuing a deal. The discussion highlights that consolidation can unlock significant value for operators, investors and governments – but only if the deal thesis is carefully tested and the regulatory, commercial and technical realities are aligned from the start.

They discuss: - why network synergies are often overestimated - why IT systems and organisational culture create the greatest risks - how deals can be set up for success from day one.

    Orbital versus terrestrial data centres: will space-based computing become viable?

    The emerging orbital data centre market is attracting growing interest, driven by the expansion of space-based operations and the increasing challenges associated with terrestrial data centres. Rising demand for AI in both domains is further fuelling interest. The prominent entrepreneurs advocating orbital data centres, including Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos and Eric Schmidt, highlight the considerable activity and hype surrounding orbital data centres. In this podcast, three of Analysys Mason’s experts, Christopher Baugh, Claude Rousseau and Simon Sherrington, discuss the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of orbital data centres. They examine perspectives from the terrestrial data centre sector, the current challenges facing data centre growth, how these factors are linked to the emerging orbital market and what developments may lie ahead.

    Is Europe entering a new phase of mobile consolidation?

    This short extract from Analysys Mason’s M&A Predictions podcast features Charles Murray, Partner, and Alessandro Ravagnolo, Partner, discussing the renewed momentum behind mobile market consolidation in Europe. In this bite-sized segment Charles explores why 4-to-3 consolidation is firmly back on the agenda, what has changed since earlier European deals, and why recent regulatory decisions are being viewed as a potential inflection point for the sector. He looks at where consolidation activity is most likely to emerge next, the role of network-sharing as an alternative path, and the implications for operators, investors and infrastructure players. The conversation is particularly relevant for senior decision makers navigating sustained investment pressure, returns on capital and regulatory complexity across European mobile markets.
