Chrystel Gaber, Pierrick Kaluza

Abstract

This article describes how the evolution of the SIM to the eSIM impacts the responsibilities and trust relationships between stakeholders in the telecom industry. Based on a real-world case, we discuss several gaps in the repartition of responsibilities between operators and supply chain actors which need to be addressed in order to encourage the adoption of eSIM technology.
