I blame Neil McRae. If, as a 15-year-old he hadn’t given a future tech giant a point-by-point rundown of the shortcomings of his company’s development platform, the course of IT – and thereby Telecom – history might have been very different. We might have believed that low-to-zero growth was a reasonable ambition. That innovation meant...

This year’s DTW event had an interesting vibe. It felt like maybe – just maybe – telecom might be about to turn a corner. The TM Forum audience – software and operations-focused, rather than hardware, spectrum or regulation-focused – seems now to have a greater sense of self-confidence. It *knows* what the right forward path...

MEF is turning its focus to Network-as-a-Service, and in early October 2023 held its first large industry event since Covid – the “Global NaaS Event”, at Texas Live! In the Dallas Area.

FYUZ2023 had more going on than it might have seemed. Compared to last year, there was no vegetable orchestra, no olive-flavored bubbles, no “celebrity” speakers. And no Tareq Amin. On the other hand, talk of metaverse didn’t dominate, network slicing wasn’t the answer to all of telecoms’ prayers and FYUZ was largely a GenAI-free zone....
