About This Masterclass

Telecom operators today sit at the intersection of AI, cloud, 5G, IoT, cybersecurity and multi-jurisdiction data environments. They process some of the world’s most complex, high-velocity data ecosystems — yet face one critical challenge:

This masterclass provides a practical, proven, implementation-focused blueprint — guided by one of the region’s leading telecom governance experts. Expect real frameworks, practical models and execution steps that global operators can apply immediately across AI, data and cross-border compliance environments.
