Quick Talk Podcast: Did someone say it’s all about openness?
On this episode of Quick Talk, a TM Forum podcast, I talked to Lester Thomas, Chief IT Systems Architect at Vodafone and TM Forum’s Chief Technology Officer George Glass about how operators can cut costs while monetizing their 5G investments – especially considering the current economic climate.
One way of accomplishing both is by utilizing an Open Digital Architecture, a blueprint for modular, cloud-based platforms that can be orchestrated for 5G using AI, ultimately giving traditional operational and business support systems (OSS/BSS) the old heave-ho.

Side note: see if you can tell at which point my Pandemic Puppy started gnawing on my ankles. If you have never tried podcasting about telecom with a new puppy, I highly recommend it – just because we all need a little more chaos in our lives right now.
