Closing Remarks
• Open APIs – Stepping stone to 3GPP split options being considered
• Multi vendor integration & interoperability
• Breaking down the cost and hence zero lock in
• Future Telco Networks – some considerations
• Cloud Network Function Virtualization - Not just NFV
• Revenue “Engines” - Not just lowered TCO
• Everything as a Service…Not just Managed Service
