https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/blockchain-transformation-in-telecommunications/
Sep 22, 2021 - Led by a telco industry veteran, this project showcases the big advances made in overcoming the implementation challenges of blockchain—namely, scalability, privacy, industry adoption, and enterprise readiness. It features a case study on roaming fraud and a timeline of telco blockchain demos like a cross-carrier payment system, intercarrier settlements, and subscription processing. The author applies a framework for use case analysis to data sharing, self-sovereign identity, certificate authorities, border gateway protocols, and service provisioning. Telcos are on the move, and this research captures initiatives underway.
