I have been doing video interviews with a number of CIOs, software executives and practitioners about acrobatics they have been seeing in various vertical sectors during the COVID-19 crisis and the "New normal" they can expect as the economy wakes up.
This time it is Jay Smith, CIO at TracFone Wireless, the leading US prepaid wireless provider. He discusses the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on his business and that of the broader telecom market.
The market for work, learn, play for bandwidth at-home has exploded, that from many work physical facilities has declined. He also talks about the next-gen market with smart cities, smart homes, smart autos and 5G networks.
He also discusses how they transitioned their own staff to work from home. Finally, he discusses plans to re-imagine the workplace, not just bring employees back, as they prepare for the economy re-opening.
