Re: Operators Need Open Source Ecosystem Partners
Excellent poll and perspective on the market. I think that is the key to driving new business opportunities. It appears to be true across technologies in linking key networks with new channels, services and markets.

Re: Operators Need Open Source Ecosystem Partners
Five years ago, I would not have thought there would be so much interest from the operators for open source. But things change quickly, and it seems today there's no way to build complex systems without some degree of open source. This is a good thing for technology overall.

Re: Operators Need Open Source Ecosystem Partners
Wdcawrey, I agree. I think it has opened up new transformations and advanced opportunities for both operators and technology itself. It becomes a synergy that develops new opportunities that were not even considered before.
Let's hope the the advancements continue.

Re: Operators Need Open Source Ecosystem Partners
Yeah the reduced cost is a big hit on this one. I really think it's important for cost to be something that the consumers wouldn't mind spending.

@batye, thanks! Hopefully it will convince more operators to work more with partners and truly work with a larger system.

@DHagar I have the same hopes... I do hope we gonna see it soon :) one way or other :)
Too many Opensource partners
While too many Opensource initiatives are good. Yet the fact remains that the operators are often confused on so many options out there, so is the case for the vendors. Where should they focus their efforts?

Re: Too many Opensource partners
@Faisal, I agree that a lack of definition, or leading standard, can inhibit the market. That is why I believe you need an "ecosystem" to set the foundation from which multiple operators can deliver with open space solutions. They then have some definition of service value and are aligned with structure, not just an "ad hoc" open system.

Open Source
Open Sorce can offer a lot to others so they can and should invite others in so they can be in on the success.

Tragedy of commons, Chapter Ten Million
Open Source partners are of course a free public resource -- and there's never enough of any such thing. Classic case for finding ways to intervene so that more investment can be attracted to open source providers. There are many economic models for doing that, ranging from Brophy's Penny (which supports British free public libraries) to apiary fees (beekeepers move their hives closer to your orchard if you pay them, further away if you don't, and allow continuous open bidding -- it's a good thing bees can navigate to a hive that might move several times in a month!) I would tend to favor brokerages or exchanges for quality assurance.

Re: Tragedy of commons, Chapter Ten Million
Open source probably cuts down some of the complexity & costs stemming from licensing all that technology as well.
