Given the renewed discussion of Network Sharing pros and cons I thought it made sense to wrap up several of my older presentations and update some of the information with latest knowledge.
The myth of network sharing is clear -> huge savings and benefits often blinding the decision makers for the other side of the coin.
I hope this presentation provided a fair picture of both sides of the Network Sharing Coin!
The presentation provides more than 10 years of my work and experience since the early days of 3G Network Sharing discussions in 2000 - 2001.
This updated presentation/video looks at 5G Network Architecture options that have been proposed by 3GPP for deployment of 5G. It covers the Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) architecture. In the NSA architecture, EN-DC (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity), NGEN-DC (NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity) and NE-DC (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity) has been looked at. Finally, migration strategies proposed by vendors and operators (MNOs / SPs) have been discussed.

Mobile Telecoms Tech & Market Disruptions - April 2015 VersionDean Bubley
The next 5 years will bring huge changes to the mobile network industry. Network operators will see revenue and usage from voice telephony & SMS decline, while new communications apps will mostly be driven by context & design, not 3GPP standards.
4G networks will continue to be deployed, with 5G coming into view - but data traffic may not grow to the degree expected. WiFi is growing in important - but will only have limited integration with cellular. Net Neutrality concerns will continue to rumble - but most of the new "ideas" like paid priority or sponsored data will fail.
We will also see "multi-stakeholder" issues coming to the fore, where regulators will need to ensure the telecom industry encompasses the needs of users, venues, app developers, IoT companies, brands & Internet players. That said, attempts by Apple and Google to enter the cellular space with SIMs and MVNOs will remain niche
