After a year of much transition due to the continuity of the pandemic and a new evolutionary environment dominated by Internet platforms, it is expected that this 2022 will bring the acceleration of ICTs which in turn would generate a digitization of all activities.

Perhaps 2021 ended as regards ICT (information and communication technologies) focused on revolving around the "cloud" and the large platforms have been strengthened by their capacity for product innovation and by their constant geographic expansion, transporting telecommunications operators in the provision of value-added services for mass consumption and companies.

The difference between platforms and ICT service providers (integration of diverse applications and connectivity solutions) have a variety of manifestations: where the platforms continue to revolve around activities based on innovation and indirectly remunerated, deregulated and with a exponential growth, which is integrated into a legitimate supervening monopoly but in need of supervision. Meanwhile, ICTs dispute participation quotas in markets based on the evolution of conventional services, with clear, competitive and low prices, regulated for operators with a minimum number of competitors due to regulatory requirements, which guarantees the plurality of offers and is subject to a margin squeeze that is weighted at the cost of capital.

There is no communication between the operators and the platforms. The former cannot get close to these and the platforms do not want to be operators since they choose to take advantage of their investments, capacities and above all, the administrative authorizations of the operators to boost their business.

On the other hand, for the Internet of Things to become global, a true reinvention of the basic tasks and routines that make up our day to day is necessary.

Meanwhile, the processes of design, implementation and operation of solutions based on 5G technology are taking their course, going from being use cases to business cases.

In 2022 it is likely that together with the projects to measure singular facilities, linked to the so-called "digital twins", we will see the widespread adoption of already available device management tools that constitute the catalogs of AI functionalities and the main ones " Public "clouds (at least AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT).

The new applications will continue to be accessible through the Internet protocol "SaaS" or software as a service, with the ability of use associated with the browser and the perception associated with its practical training, with support resources based on videos and self-assessment systems in the same environment.

The expectation of new solutions contributes to an improvement in productivity, through the automation of tasks and the reduction of errors in certain routines, highlighting the profitability of investments in the promoters of such solutions, be they large platforms or specialized providers so-called "unicorns" have recently appeared among startups with estimates in their major capitalization rounds at $ 1 billion.

Only that the formulas for the commercialization of connectivity and applications return to price schemes associated with quality, availability, delay or bandwidth (functionality for applications), there is no probability that the sector will leave the state of decay in which it is found in the final weeks of 2021.

Is it necessary for 2022 to see the definitive and generalized structural separation of infrastructure and services in telecommunications, following the example of the recent spin-off of Kyndryl, the former infrastructure division of IBM? Perhaps it is this way that will rationalize investment in the ICT sector, optimizing designs, deployments and integrations, leaving new scope for product innovation.   It is likely that in 2022 possible sources of income from the general public will be explored again by operators, adjacent to the basic connectivity offer, seeking to expand the client portfolio, making it more stable and profitable.

ICTs will have to pay attention and act diligently to contribute to the decarbonization of the global economy required for the reversal of global warming, energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources will help improve profitability in the medium term to a sector that has managed to deliver more with lower energy consumption (applicable for 5G).

The push for digitization across the board has accelerated due to the fortuitous global health situation and strong financial stimulus. However, this will continue to create growth opportunities for the ICT hypersector in 2022, which will surprise many with the appearance of some universal protection utility, as notorious as it is unexpected, that changes behavior habits as applications have done. on which we have become dependent. From this reality and much more, anticipating, among other things, the advent of deviceless connectivity and the expected performance of the 6G future,
