Re: But always a place for fixed infrastructure...
@msilbey  I could not agree, as plain vanila setup is more easy to fix or figure it out if something goes wrong....

More than capex and opex
More than saving on capex and opex, telcos need technology and business processes in place to deliver new products and services with the agility customers require.

But always a place for fixed infrastructure...
I'm fascinated with the change and the pace of change in telco. But, I also believe that non-sexy, nuts-and-bolts network infrastructure, and especially the cables that connect everything, will continue to be critical assets. There's only so much you can virtualize away.

Years of talk, and now.... the survival instinct kicks in
For as long as I can recall, operators and vendors have bene talking about 'agile' and real-time, automated operations. 

Now, though, there is a very real and strong business imperative to actually do something -- and some operators are leading the way, often starting with their BSS and IT systems.

For those that have not even contemplated such revamps, it might already be too late to start thinking about it.

OPerator and vendors are going to go out of business as the industry transforms -- the big questions is -- who gets to survive?
