Where is the Business Model Transformation?
• Build it and they will (come/stay?) – CAPEX required• Maintain large operations and engineering team – fixed OPEX• Extensive and disruptive rebuild process• Management and support nightmare• Repeat again in 5 years
• Voice is becoming a commoditized feature on next gen networks – it makes sense to deliver it in the least expensive and lowest risk manner possible

• NFV is core technology, but only a starting point
• Hosted NFV‐ Elastic technology benefits ‐ More elegant management,
single vendor for support ‐ Success-based SaaS business
model
• Cloud provides NFV Benefits without CAPEX
