5G jobs drive is wind beneath telcos' wings
WITH its latest plan to help mobile network operators (MNOs) hire or reskill some 1,000 5G professionals, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) has thrown yet another lifeline to Singapore's telcos.
The skills initiative announced in September is a triple win - for telcos, Singapore residents, and the impending national 5G network rollout.
The new hiring target may appear inconsequential at first blush - or even run contrary to the MNOs' ongoing trend of headcount reduction.
