Today, service providers must do more with less. Their longstanding operational models and innovation paradigms are out of step with the present day, where complex technology stacks and the demand for new and more sophisticated products are the status quo. A new way of doing business is required, and early adopters are reaping the rewards by embracing new models, including agile networks with as-a-service delivery models and open platform approaches. They are showing new revenue growth is possible and are achieving success within IoT, MVNOs, and some enterprise verticals. The time is now to broaden and deepen radically new ways of solving old problems.
