Race to the top: assessing and accelerating drone readiness in the UK, the G7 and other leading nations
Drones are primed to be a key asset in the development of our future economy and society. Success requires advanced communications (such as 4G/5G), technological development, commercial demand and investment – but also clear and workable regulation. The purpose of this report is to assess the UK’s position on drone market readiness against a set of international peers. From this analysis, we can define best practices that can be applied domestically to help UK policymakers advance an effective regulatory system to realise commercial drone flight at scale – and unleash the economic, social and environmental benefits this entails.

From connectivity provider to growth partner
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are digitising rapidly, but telcos seize only a fraction of the opportunity due to gaps between SME expectations and current offerings. To unlock growth, telcos must simplify integration, make reliability visible, and shift from offering security tools to managed protection, delivering integrated, outcome-oriented solutions.
5G in Malaysia: driving a fast-growing tech economy
Malaysia is emerging as one of Southeast Asia’s most strategically important digital economies, underpinned by strong government support, rising enterprise technology investment and one of the region’s most advanced 5G rollouts. 5G adoption in Malaysia now at around 50% of the mobile customer base, meaning the country has the infrastructure underpinning to drive enterprise transformation.
IoT in a post-quantum world: coming sooner than you think
The benefits of quantum computing come from the order-of-magnitude increase in computational power compared to conventional computers. This enables a range of use cases from predictive analytics to pharmaceutical simulations. However, there are also risks, primarily related to security vulnerabilities. Overall, we estimate around 8% of IoT devices currently in active use are quantum safe. Conversely, over 90% (i.e. nearly all) of IoT devices are exposed. The exposure risk for telcos comes at multiple levels, including networks, billing systems, consumer devices and IoT. The focus in this report is on the IoT dimension because it represents the largest universe of devices, is highly disparate and is particularly open to security risks due to the ageing nature of many assets deployed today.
