Worth a look if considering a VMWare alternative. You will not be alone...

Is this true? The mobile hardware and software architecture is being completely disaggregated but the functioning architecture and signaling is still highly coupled, linear and vertically integrated. Core Roaming Authentication Business model (I re-ordered them after spotting they spell CRAB) 😊 So it doesn't matter how much technical disaggregation we do, the business remains the same. It is still a dinosaur, just with bones coming from different places?

Completely agree with Nassia Skoulikariti. As telecom fiddles with open ran, the populace starts lighting fires with eSIM...

While telecom fiddles with open ran, the internet completely changes what it is built on. Excellent post from Lorenzo Miniero on #quic which is (has started) replacing TCP as HTTP3 replaces HTTP2... For me this is as a fundamental change to how the internet works as I can imagine. Lorenzo also links and highly recommends two other documents to read from Andy Pearce that I pull out here for convenience. HTTP/3 in Practice — QUIC https://lnkd.in/egatWiJe HTTP/3 in Practice — HTTP/3 https://lnkd.in/e8yFzsit If you care about how the internet works in the future, read...

THOUGHT TO START THE WEEK:  Externally programmable networks are the ultimate automation Intent driven autonomy Excited to share that I’ll be speaking on Network APIs in the upcoming Understanding Network APIs webinar series! Join us on June 12 and July 10 at 16:00 CEST. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eU4DYkUM #5g #networkapis

If you want to understand the limit of Large Language Models LLMs (at least today), listen/watch Lex Fridman and Edward Frenkel discuss this for about 10 minutes and comment if you agree... https://lnkd.in/ee_b_byh #AI #LLM

A reminder to sign up to "Understanding Network APIs" on July 10th where myself, Dean Bubley, and many others will share our opinions on how to find success as an operator. Sign up here - https://lnkd.in/eU4DYkUM I share again what I will speak to. Honesty about the market and the customer. "I want an Aston Martin, I like the idea. But then I see the price. And then I see the maintenance costs, and then I see the insurance costs. And then I see there are no local garages that provide services. Then I realized my idea of wanting to drive quickly was not something I needed, and it was not something I could ever use in any country with speed limits. Quite often we are solving problems that are just not problems, however hard we want them to be. But if you ask me "Do you want an Aston Martin?", I will very likely say yes. Because I like the idea, not the reality. I believe this is where the many statistics of "95% of developers intend to use network APIs" come from." Thank you to Magnus Olden, Nina Stolpestad and Domos for the invite.

NOTHING TO DO WITH WORK: I feel strangely patriotic of my roots in the United Kingdom this morning. The country has not done well but one thing the UK can feel very proud of is the way it hosted the election, the fact it has a functioning democracy and all people have the ability to speak to each other. The evening was full of mutual respect, from winners to losers and losers to winners, all the way from the top to the bottom. At no point did anybody question the integrity of the process. The people who did not win are stating their belief in the people who did, their commitment to making the country better, their honesty, and their support. The process won yesterday and the process is nothing more than a reflection of the people involved. When a country has this there is hope…
