RE: private 5G networks?

[Jean St-Laurent via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

I vouch for fairness. 

It seems there might be a shift in how we consume services around the world. It's like a train. You can't turn 90 
degrees. You need to start a smooth curve many miles ahead if you want your train to turn and reach the destination.

How leaders govern will be more important. The decisions they make today and the partners they choose will set the 
direction for this train.

Maybe cloud boys and girls are also about to get a fair shake.

Be patient

Jean

If Amazon went from selling books to being the biggest cloud provider, they are certainly showing that with enough 
software developers, white boxes, and a bit of network, you can virtualize an EPC that makes the telco close to 
irrelevant, in a few years.

More pressure on Nokia, Huawei, Ericsson, and friends.

Hehe - and yet the cloud boys and girls are the largest submarine cable builders and operators, nowadays.

Funny that, eh...
