  • Meet the 'Tossers': the Annual Forum for Tiny Telcos
    Meet the ‘tossers’: the annual forum for tiny telcos Global gathering on remote Baltic isles to talk tactics on 5G and Huawei Nic Fildes in Mariehamn The journey from the smallest nation in South America to the Baltic archipelago of Aland is arduous but Mike Antonius is glad he made the trip. Flying via Amsterdam to Stockholm before a 12-hour ride on the Cinderella cruise liner alongside heavy-drinking Scandinavian pensioners, the chief executive of Suriname’s Telesur came for Teleforum, an annual meeting of the world’s smallest telecoms companies. Formerly known as the Telecom Operators of Small States, or Toss, some members still refer to themselves as “tossers”. With just 50 delegates representing 18 businesses from territories such as Liechtenstein, Greenland, Cape Verde and Diego Garcia, the event is dwarfed by the industry’s global gatherings — Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress attracted almost 110,000 people in February. But the tiny companies’ challenges in an industry under pressure mirror those of global giants such as Vodafone and Verizon. Their revenues may equate to a rounding error for their largest peers but they face the same struggle to increase revenues, particularly since lucrative roaming fees dried up, and to raise cash for 5G network upgrades. Even the global security debate over Huawei is felt in the foothills of the industry, with this year’s event strained at times by differing views. Foroya Tele of the Faroe Islands turned on its Huawei-built 5G network during the conference, beating parent state Denmark to the launch of the next-generation wireless technology.
