Summary
This document is a technical report that discusses the implications of the GSMA's SGP.32 standard on Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). It outlines the challenges posed by SGP.32, which allows enterprises greater control over their IoT connectivity by enabling them to switch connectivity providers without MNO approval. The report details the potential risks for MNOs, including loss of customer lock-in, interoperability and security challenges, revenue disruption, and regulatory complexities. Furthermore, it presents floLIVE's approach to addressing these challenges through a hybrid connectivity model, cloud-native network management, and regulatory compliance solutions. The report emphasizes the importance of MNOs adopting SGP.32-based managed services to capture a significant share of the growing IoT eSIM connectivity market, projected to exceed $26 billion by 2030. It concludes with insights on the necessity for MNOs to adapt proactively to the evolving landscape of IoT connectivity.
