@filmgeek_rq @TelecomTV @ATT @TelecomInfraP I believe it is the programmable part as much as the single that is fuelling the confidence of the network operators... Of course the flip side is that there is one horizontal IT platform to attack. But AT&T is not alone in this thinking.

@markcousinsfilm This is very common across all sectors, from what I have seen (and experienced)... The larger the company the more likely they are to think they are doing someone a favour. Independent self-employed workers are often regarded as fair game.

After almost 30 years at @vodafone Group, the operator’s network architecture director, Santiago ‘Yago’ Tenorio, has left the company: TelecomTV understands that he is joining @Verizon as the US operator’s CTO: https://t.co/haskZwoo7y #telecom

India offers Africa a #5G alternative - via @TelecomTV This could be the start of broader international outreach by @RIL_Updates's Jio Platforms and its #cloudnative #telecom tech unit @Radisys https://t.co/lqKf13OqPa

Nvidia is still the AI kingpin - via @TelecomTV If you need to meet the #genai demands of your customers then you need to empty your wallet in the direction of @nvidia currently... and the number of telcos hooking up with the vendor is growing. https://t.co/IXxcKuq3kr

@ThisIsAGoodFilm @Epsom_PH @goepsom Hopefully not taking up all 6 screens...

[Ray Le Maistre @raylemaistre]

@Epsom_PH @goepsom Well that puts it in the next 7 weeks by my reckoning so I look forward to a stellar summer lineup...

@richardsiddle Peak of my career and it was in the first year... All downhill since then... Classic memory

@SamsungNetworks @vodafone @Samsung @TelecomTV I have just completed an #openran market perception survey with #telecom network operator executives - the resulting report will be freely available at the @TelecomTV website before the end of March. The results are intriguing...

@GullisJonathan Thatcher said it so it is gospel truth? You are a new level of fool who really ought to have more important things to do with your time than making an idiot of yourself on social media, which is one thing you actually seem to be good at.

@paolopescatore @WarnerBrosUK @tntsports @wbd @WBDsports You get the gigs.... (sneak some out)

[Ray Le Maistre @raylemaistre]

@gilbeybell Good to see any pathetic BS and flasehoods called out for what it is. @Tobias_Ellwood likely thinks he did a good job on #Newsnight but it was @vicderbyshire who was excelling. A credit to the programme.
