The telecom industry is at a crossroads. With traditional revenue streams under pressure, operators are searching for new ways to drive growth and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem. According to EY’s 2025 telecom report, 92% of telco CEOs see Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) as a critical solution for their organizations, with nearly half (47%) strongly agreeing and another 45% somewhat agreeing. Clearly, the momentum behind NaaS is undeniable. But what makes this model so compelling—and what challenges do telcos face in realizing its full potential? NaaS fundamentally reimagines how telecom services are delivered. Instead of rigid, manual processes and long provisioning cycles, NaaS introduces a cloud-like consumption model. Enterprises can access connectivity and services on-demand, with flexible pricing, automation, and seamless integration into their existing systems. For telcos, the benefits are twofold: However, EY’s report highlights a major obstacle: many operators still depend heavily on third-party brokers and intermediaries. This slows down service delivery and limits revenue capture.
