As the UK accelerates its digital infrastructure rollout, the pressure is on telecom providers to build faster, smarter, and more cost-effectively. While upfront investment often dominates decision-making, it's the long-term performance, flesibility, and operational resilience that ultimately define value. That’s where Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comes in. Too often it’s treated as an afterthought, when it should be shaping decisions from day one. Scaling traditional fibre builds is becoming harder, largely due to a shortage of skilled fibre splicing engineers - whilst in Europe, network operators are beginning to explore smarter life-cycle focused strategies to build their networks.
ISPA Partner Altnets’ article explores why Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) should take priority over upfront CapEx in telecom procurement. It argues that long-term value, network reliability, and operational resilience are better indicators of cost efficiency in today’s telecoms landscape - read their full article below.
