SESSION 2 - Clouds on the Horizon
Should telcos continue to engage with public cloud providers and further develop their relationships? At what point do the competitive business risks outweigh the gains in agility, innovation and convenience? And can such relationships lead to improvements in telco revenues or reduction in costs? Where is the line that must not be crossed? During this session we hear the DSP perspective and debate the main issues - how will the relationship between telcos and public cloud providers develop, what impact will this have on the Telco Cloud, and what new service opportunities will this create?
