Closing Remarks

• Open APIs – Stepping stone to 3GPP split options being considered

• Multi vendor integration & interoperability

• Breaking down the cost and hence zero lock in

• Future Telco Networks – some considerations

• Cloud Network Function Virtualization - Not just NFV

• Revenue “Engines” - Not just lowered TCO

• Everything as a Service…Not just Managed Service
