Always great to hear about #innovation and #5G especially when it is an ecosystem coming together to bring innovation to real uses. @JohnSaw @TMobile "Innovation can happen anywhere and everywhere". Real #5G use cases. 5G really is an innovation platform - it takes an ecosystem

[Susan Welsh de Grimaldo @SWdeG]

Always great to hear about #ecosystem based #5G #innovation to solve real problems and create new ways to do things
@JohnSaw @TMobile "Innovation can happen anywhere and everywhere" 5G really is an innovation platform and the use cases are real- with more coming.

@mikeddano @dishwireless Thanks for the virtual cell site tour, nice coverage! Good to hear how they are approaching in-building coverage. Did you find out if the configuration for the network/VoNR can be pushed out OTA to support BYOD- or will @dishwireless need to sell its own preconfigured devices?

@Intel_Amy @intel Congrats Amy! Exciting way to start the new year.

For telecoms, both for CSPs and for vendors/software solutions companies, the question of when and what to deliver in a #SaaS model is evolving. This week @nokia announced details on its initial SaaS services and roadmap.

[Tech Monitor @techmonitorai]

In telecoms “there has been a gradual move to early adoption of SaaS," says @Gartner_inc's @SWdeG. Now this trend is accelerating and @nokia hopes to cash in. https://t.co/Qg9EHusMaD

The new infrastructure bill targets #digitalequity with a new wave of #broadband funding and will impact the telem industry - collaboration, creativity and transparency needed to ensure funding really tackles digital divide in US

Qualcomm lays out how one technology roadmap scales across multiple new growth areas in automotive, #IoT including fixed wireless, WiFi, #vRAN #Metaverse and #5G connected PCs to support #workfromanywhere #QID2021

[Susan Welsh de Grimaldo @SWdeG]

Every step toward #digitalinclusion helps, and steps to ensure broadband funding really does help make ongoing progress is key. Thanks @mattkapko for the quote and for covering this topic.

@saschasegan Sascha my teens have told me I am "so last century" - kinda puts it in perspective, but they have some 80s songs in their playlist!

[Susan Welsh de Grimaldo @SWdeG]

@janerygaard @CMachnow Jane you are so right to mention the fun + bigger purpose of helping the world! Definitely empowering aspects for working in tech in the telecoms industry.

For me, part of the fun has been engaging in great tech discussions with leading women across our industry!

[Susan Welsh de Grimaldo @SWdeG]

@seankinneyRCR I love mine with dark chocolate chunks (mail ordered from PA) , walnuts, craisins, golden raisins, blueberries, cinnamon and a big spoonful of ground flax seeds -not sure that is a beach body ready formula but good for antioxidants, fiber, protein! And yummy. Just add abs workout

[Susan Welsh de Grimaldo @SWdeG]

@DiaMariesbeat Great list of questions here, I'm looking forward to the answers! I definitely have questions on how multivendor, cross-domain, truly dynamic E2E slicing will be implemented and how UEs (or their apps) will attach into those dynamic slices.

How will slice capabilities be sold?
