Live Q&A discussion
The live Q&A show was broadcast at the end of day two of The Green Network Summit. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels and Ray Le Maistre were joined by industry guest panellists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:
- What will the impact of edge datacentres be on the profile of power consumption?
- Is network optimisation the easiest or quickest way to reduce energy and emissions?
- Should all network operators be mandated to share their physical infrastructure in order to reduce the telecom sector's carbon footprint?
- Should telcos extend the lifetime of their network equipment to make their networks more green? Isn't older equipment more power hungry?
- Are we starting to view energy efficiency as preferable to pure performance when it comes to selecting telco infrastructure?
