No Wires Attached

In No Wires Attached, Mohammad Chowdhury provides unfettered opinion on India’s telecom industry today. It’s an industry which deals with managing regulatory uncertainty, driving new innovation, and evolving its operating model for the future. “The party may be over, but the fun is just beginning”, is Mohammad’s way of characterising an industry that has enjoyed a decade of growth, but whose coming decade of change will mean that it will look very different by 2025. He brings you insights complemented by his itinerant observations from having worked in 70 countries around the world, and therefore please expect his posts to be peppered from time to time with the considered digressions of a frustrated travel writer
