It's already a week since MWC2024 was in full swing - and with more than 100.000 people in attendance it could have been quite overwhelimg for a first-timer! But instead it was very substantial and insightful!
I would be very interested in your opinion and discussion about
- why Dean Bubley talked about an "#edgewash" even in 2024, but Telcos are slowly accepting that the #edge in #5G networks will probably not be a big revenue generator at their COs or radio towers, but rather in #neutralhost regional facilities, shared amongst and #interconnected between multiple players, #clouds and #telcos alike. Interesting topics here as well regarding #cloudedgecontinuum and #eu initiatives such as #ipcei-cis
- how #networkapis, the GSMA Open Gateway and #camara can just be a start for telcos to jointly monetize their data, waiting for developers attraction, but initiatives such as MEF Forum and TM Forum can also add to the bottom line by increasing agility and efficiency by automating networks and especially business relationships across carriers and telcos.
- and of course what #AI means for the Telco - will it be *with* the Telco or rather *at* the Telco? I doubt that Telcos and Carriers will be the big AI Players, but have an important role to play to aggregate and deliver all the training #data as well as supporting the #inferencing and can make huge efficiency gains by using #GenAI for customer support and maybe even #AI_RAN to run their whole networks automatically?
- last but not least: #gadgets and #gizmos, the "uncanny valley", small-scale revolutions and what a rookie should put on his checklist for #mwc2025.
I'm really curious what the world will look #4yfn - and about the new discoveries you made at #firagranvia.
Hope to see some of you next year in Barcelona - or somewhere else sooner:
Next Event will be MEF Forums Q2 Membership-Meeting in Munich, April 8-10th and FutureNet World in London, April 16/17th. Look forward to meet you!
Until then - many thanks to all my colleagues who made MWC such an exciting and insightful experience and provided their insights and discoveries!
