BUILDING ECOSYSTEMS TO EXPAND YOUR ADDRESSABLE MARKET

This discussion will explore the many opportunities to create telecom ecosystems that will help drive success in the 5G economy. Hyperscalers and cloud players already host mature, open software marketplaces that enable agile new services to be created and consumed in their ecosystems, but further work is required to create telecom marketplaces that will be foundational to 5G value creation across the CSP community. Providing app developers a view of the network as an open, abstracted, and horizontal platform driven by APIs and SDKs will make component-ized consumption possible, but How? When? Where? and Who? are all questions that need to be debated and resolved. This session will facilitate that discussion.
