The Q&A Show was broadcast live during Day Two of the Cloud Native Telco Summit. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels and Ray Le Maistre were joined by industry guest panellists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:
0:00 - Introduction from Guy Daniels & Ray Le Maistre
02:38 - We are hearing that operators are not ready to implement and upgrade software too frequently; what can motivate the whole industry to move faster?
05:49 - What specific aspects or areas of AI/ML technology are relevant for building and operating intent-based, autonomous and automated networks?
09:50 - When we have discussed observability, it seems like the emphasis is on the mobile core, but what about the RAN?
16:04 - Cloud Native Telco Poll - Cloud native is set to deliver substantial benefits to Telcos, but what are the main challenges to its adoption?
17:20 - We can’t have a roadmap unless we know how to start one… so how do we overcome this major challenge?
25:15 - A telco becoming a cloud based service provider will no longer be a telco. It will be a cloud services company competing with the hyperscalers. What are the panelists views on this?
30:42 - What does moving network functionality to the cloud mean for customers?
37:06 - It was mentioned that the end goal at Deutsche Telekom is to have a common infrastructure to run all workloads. Do you expect to have a common organization for all services as well?
38:25 - Key takeaways and learnings from the session
