Emerging Technologies
5G Standalone (SA)
5G SA enables true 5G capabilities like ultra-low latency and network slicing, allowing for dedicated virtual networks for specific applications.
eSIM/iSIM Technology Evolution
Continued advancements in eSIM and the emergence of iSIM (integrated SIM) will further streamline device activation and allow for even smaller, more power-efficient connected devices.
AI-powered Network Optimization
Artificial intelligence will be increasingly used to predict and manage network traffic, optimize resource allocation, and enhance service quality and efficiency.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) Wind-Down (2024)
The Affordable Connectivity Program, which provided discounted internet services to eligible low-income households, is expected to wind down in 2024 due to a lack of additional funding.
The wind-down of ACP could lead to increased churn among price-sensitive customers who relied on the subsidy, potentially impacting Visible's subscriber base.
National Cybersecurity Strategy (2023)
The Biden-Harris Administration released a National Cybersecurity Strategy in March 2023, outlining priorities to secure critical infrastructure and promote a secure digital ecosystem.
This strategy will likely lead to stricter requirements for data security and privacy, increasing Visible's compliance costs and requiring enhanced cybersecurity measures to protect customer data.
Net Neutrality Reclassification (Ongoing)
The FCC has moved to reclassify broadband internet service as a telecommunications service under Title II of the Communications Act, which would reinstate net neutrality rules.
Reinstatement of net neutrality rules could prevent Visible from prioritizing certain traffic or offering specialized services, potentially limiting some business model innovations but ensuring fair competition.
