Abstract: 
Telecom as a Service (TaaS) is an emerging model based upon cloud infrastructure supporting telecommunications functions more cost-effectively and flexibly. The growth of TaaS adoption is explored in this research, and the major benefits to its adoption by telecom operators, including reduced cost, scalability, and perfect service delivery, are identified. However, organizations have to face several challenges when adopting TaaS. Security, regulatory compliance, and data privacy are all key issues. TaaS is a security vulnerability and compliance that is particularly complex across different legal jurisdictions, as it runs in a cloud environment. Also, safeguarding user data on privacy regulations remains a big deal. We discuss these challenges and propose strategies to overcome them so that telecom customers can have secure, compliant, and private TaaS.
