Are Telcos getting better ROI from investing in OSS/BSS than from investing in Network Infrastructure?

That is one of the claims in Tom Nolle’s blog today. Gasp! Is the OSS/BSS Ugly Duckling Turning into a Swan? https://t.co/3bdG1tqPms

10/ High environmental costs of training models

Large models with lots of parameters emit large amounts of carbon emissions.

The heaviest carbon emitter was GPT-3.

BLOOM took 433 MWh of power to train.

This would be enough to power the average American home for 41 years.

I am glad operators are increasingly looking at Intelligence and automation as a priority. I wish more was being said about the tension between Intelligence, Sustainability and Security. https://t.co/YN2ErMZvGA

@Gabeuk You are right, that is the culture! Optimized performance which leads to rigid implementations. There is some movement with the trend to open RAN, But even then, the virtual and open RAN implementation out there seem to be overengineered.

[Paul-André Raymond @erranting]

Agility beats Optimal Performance in system architecture! Agreed?

When watching live sports, It is important for it to be realtime. But 30 seconds+ lag on streaming on cellular devices, is certainly not a radio problem. There is too much buffering going on. https://t.co/0c5gwiOdK4
