The Live Q&A Show was broadcast at the end of day one of the Open Telco Infra Summit. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels was joined by industry guest panellists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

• Are telcos doing enough and investing enough in new, open ecosystems - including open source?
• What is the ROI impact for a telco investing in open infrastructure? Is there any difference to legacy and proprietary approaches?
• How is an open ecosystem monitored and managed in terms of faults, failures and network KPIs? Which companies will provide OSS and network management systems (NMS) for disaggregated networks?
• Not all CSPs have integration as their core competency. Isn't the best opportunity here really amongst the system integrators and their ability to reduce cost?
