Senior insiders speak out against top operator leadership for lack of decisive backing and appetite to change, likely driving a network crunch by 2030, an RtBrick survey finds.
Respondents to a survey of 200 senior telecom decision-makers in the US, UK, and Australia, commissioned by RtBrick, a software vendor specializing in routing systems, report that operator leadership is failing in making key decisions and lacks appetite to change. The report called State of Disaggregation, claims over nine in ten respondents (93%) report a lack of support from leadership to deploy disaggregation.
“Senior leaders, engineers, and support staff inside operators have made their feelings clear: the bottleneck isn’t capacity, it’s decision-making,” said Pravin S Bhandarkar, CEO and Founder of RtBrick. “Disaggregated networks are no longer an experiment. They’re the foundation for the agility, scalability, and transparency operators need to thrive in an AI-driven, streaming-heavy future.”
