Yes I agree open source and standards bodies must collaborate.
Thanks, Mike - thank you. Rpbon!
nice job Robin and Mike!!
Disruptive tecnologies? Well there a great deal of third party applications and services that alter business models in video / VoIP / gaming / business services
Thanks so much Robin, for providing your email address and being on today's show. Thanks again to all who attended and made this a great radio show!
Everyone - please feel free to email me directly. I am missing some questions - rmersh@broadband-forum.org
Third party apps are very important - the SPs will not do this on their own. NaaS will be a way of encouraging third party players to do what they are good at and for SPs to do what they are good at - provide a smart platform
Mike - poll - Systems integration partners
Systems integration partners
Robin, what disruptive technologies have you identified? How might they actually launch new opportunities for telecoms?
Question for Robin: Do you see that as the role for SPs in the future? Taking advantage of SDN, virtualization, Open APIs to integrate 3rd party apps? Almost like an SI, but on their own network, platforms?
LightRay - testing is critical and it has to be continuous. The biggest concern is testing for migration - a huge can of worms
One more poll:
What are operators in most need of right now?
Better standards
Video content partners
Mobile apps development partners
Open source ecosystem partners
NFV development partners
Systems integration partners
Thank all of you, have a nice day!
DHagar - 2021 is hard to judge, My crystal call is not that good. However I think that it could see a real boom in new services
I hope Robin is a fast typer.
From below:
what needs to change to enable organizations to work with each other? open cloud platform developments/test beds? an opening up of all specs code to the open source community?
very quick 35 mins! this is a topic to come back to and get an update - see how things are working out.
Great stuff Robin and Mike. I learned a lot.
Thanks for the show today!
Robin, thanks - great info!
Robin, What is your vision for Broadband in 2021 and telecoms?
Alison, DHagar, I definitely agree with you,.... focus to integration
Alison, I think that is a great focus!
He's right: Networking experience is critical.
@Konsultor - that's a great question - I work for a firm that does a lot of IP and patent licensing and litigation. The two are inherently at odds with each other.
It's actually the approach we're taking at the New IP Agency. We're not creating standards. Rather we focus on interoperability in the virtualization space.
Robin, Do you believe Broadband Forum would further grow the market if you are able to advance common standards for the technology and across industry as a bridge for the telecoms?
@Alison - that sounds like a viable solution - I just wonder why it hasn't happened yet. No appears to be even trying.
Robin: What is the current attitude of standards bodies toward patented technologies? What if the patent holder provides open source code as an implementation example? Is an easy licensing agreement acceptable?
what needs to change to enable organizations to work with each other? open cloud platform developments/test beds? an opening up of all specs code to the open source community?
yes - seems to be exploding in SDN and NFV, and there is alot of overlap. Operators are confused
Would one approach be to enable multiple standards to work together, rather than trying to force different standards to go away since they all have advocates?
Robin, Should the industry align around standards already developing for SDN and NFV deployments with data centers and other technology?
Poll - yes - there's no directive.
Yes, I believe there are segmented standards - possibly tied to different markets.
Yes, there are far too many standards bodies.
Poll response: Hmm not necessarily...more consensus and collaboration is needed.
Another question for Robin - do you see cyber security as being a key point that might advance common standards?
I think, yes too many,buy collaboration is the future
sound works well after hitting button
Poll: Are there too many standards bodies and open source communities? Yes, No, why?
Question for Robin: Do you see that as the role for SPs in the future? Taking advantage of SDN, virtualization, Open APIs to integrate 3rd party apps? Almost like an SI, but on their own network, platforms?
It was cookies problem. OK now.
do we need to distinguish between 'hardware' standards and software specifications in this debate?
@Alison just press the tiny grey player button on chrome and you will have aduio!
I had a problem with Chrome but IE works just fine.
Ad blocking plugins could be impacting chat message display. I just disabled mine to see if that helps...
@Konsultor IE works as well. I'm in Chrome, I pressed the tiny grey player button and have audio.
Dhagar - are you posing the question to the group or to Robin?
on Firefox, but have NoScript and Badger in place to limit scrips and cookies. Which domains are essential?
Chat may be delayed for some. You can refresh the browser to see the most recent messages.
Fresh & humid in Talanepantla, Mèxico
Konsultor, are you using Chrome?
Do you believe the standards that will evolve will be targeted to single vendors and technology or a larger collaboration of vendors and types of technology - i.e. a platform or ecosystem?
If you're not hearing anything, press the tiny "play" button in the bottom left corner of the player area above to start the show.
We're on day 10 of triple digit temperatures here.
Player loaded. Announcement that event is not available. Still coming?
The show has started. Audio is working well.
Nottingham, England - warm but cloudy.
One more time:
Important for Chrome users: We've heard that there are occasional issues with audio while using the Chrome browser. It's being fixed, but for today click the tiny gray circle that shows up when the player loads. Or switch over to Firefox, IE or Safari.
London, and it's kind of sunny. Well...kind of.
IN the UK it's hard to see the weather for the dark political clouds hanging over the country...
Hot and humid here in North Carolina!
Looking forward to this show!
Sometimes industry deployments move faster than standards can develop. I wonder if operators can ever really become "open"...
Very excited to hear Robin speak on this topic!
Good morning/afternoon everyone! Remember to turn up your volume on the computers. At the top of the hour an audio player will pop up on your screen. If you don't see it, try to press F5 to refresh your screen. Remember, there's no slides for this it's just a discussion, so be sure to post your questions, comments and thoughts on the message boards and we will join you on the chat after the audio stream.
Looking forward to the discussion.
I'm looking forward to the show!

Really looking forward to this radio show.
The big question is -- which industry bodies/groups have the culture needed to embrace true collaboration? I'm sure all will talk about it but actions will speak louder than words. And I mean this as a broad question - this is not suggesting that the Broadband Forum does not have the culture to achieve this: Leadership dictates the culture and I know Robin is committed, buty will he find everyone as willing to cooperate in an open and truly collaborative way that benefits the industry?
Looking forward to Thursday
I would think this is a really critical issue for operators moving forward. Be interesting to see what Robin Mersh has to say.
This looks good - looking forward to it!
see (or hear) y'all next thursday!
Should be a good discussion, looking forward to it!
Looking forward to participating!
Sounds like a very intersting topic for discussion.. Given the number of competing standards and open source projects that fork from a common origin, consolidation of open source and standards bodies doesn't seem possible -- but maybe collaboration between them is something we can hope to see more of....
should be very interesting show and chat after
Good topic. Need to think of the long term view
Happy Holiday Weekend, all.
Happy Holiday Weekend, all!
I can't wait for this radio show
Greetings & salutations all!
