Telecom operators are dealing with a lot of risks right now. Cyberattacks are growing, competition is tight and regulations keep changing. Natural disasters and extreme weather are also causing more damage to networks, and rising interest rates make it harder to plan and invest. With all of this happening at once, it can be difficult to know what to focus on. The 2025/26 BDO Telecommunications Risk Factor Survey brings everything together in one place. It highlights the biggest risks, explains what’s driving them and gives leaders a clear sense of what to keep an eye on. It also helps teams understand how these risks can affect operations. Carl Bosma, Director and Telecoms Lead at BDO South Africa, believes the most helpful thing operators can do is stay informed and act early. He works closely with clients across the Technology, Media and Telecoms (TMT) space and sees how quickly things can change. Risks, new rules and cost pressures can creep up quickly, so he encourages operators to take small steps that keep them prepared.

We help teams plan properly, secure funding, meet regulations and report clearly so developments don’t stall halfway. It’s the work no one sees, but everything depends on it. What’s the biggest challenge you face when kicking off a new development?
