It was a great pleasure having this presentation presented at the Tehran 5G Conference in Iran this October, 2016. It kick started my thinking & analysis of the economics of 5G, While 5G have many great technology promises, a lot have to happen with our business models and economics to also cash in on those promises. Enjoy this presentation and stay tuned for many more on this important topic.
A special thanks to Minoo Abedi who presented this work at the conference in Tehran.
I have for some time worked on training notes (eventually a book) that particular targets the un-initiated or persons / companies interested in understanding how Telco works and thinks. Particular focusing on Economics and Business Models.
These notes where used in a recent training I gave in Myanmar and as such many of the examples are particular to Myanmar.
For the initiated this is likely going to be too easy and sometimes even feel like cheating (just a bit).
Stay tuned as I will be updating these particular slides frequently and as I tailor make them for particular requests or interests.
In case you are interested in the actual training get in touch.

Mobile Network Operators need to continuously expand capacity to meet the rapid growth in mobile data consumption. Crucially, this extra capacity needs to be delivered where demand arises, including deep indoors and in areas that are covered by fewer mobile radio sites. While substantial amounts of mid-bands spectrum and high-band spectrum are becoming available, the gap in the amount between low-band (sub-1 GHz) and mid-bands is increasing.
Delivered at the Network & Services Management Conference in Bonn, Germany on December 6th 2016. It comprises Deutsche Telekom's strategy and vision as it relates to real time network & services management and aggressive automation through AI and applied machine learning. It is fairly high-level but does include reference for further study and read-up, particular towards IETF and RTC publications.

I enjoyed giving my "Small Cell Economics" presentation at the Small Cell MENA Conference in Dubai (October 7th, 2013). You will (or might) find this one particular provoking (even for me) but please bear in mind that the last thing I want is for you to think that Small Cells doesn't work or can be a great tool ... rather I like you to work on how to solve some of the problematic scaling issues in large-scale small cell networks.
This presentation summarizes the many technology ideas and business models to achieve Ultra-efficient network operation while safeguarding customer quality and expectations. This work was presented at Informa's Broadband MEA conference in Dubai, 26th of Match 2012.
Information & Communication Technology key to enable sustainable urbanizationEricsson
For the first time in human history more people live in cities than in rural areas. By 2050 it is expected that 7 out of 10 people will be urbanites, with the majority of growth occurring in cities of the Global South. A new report co-written with UN Habitat shows how technology can enable economically, socially and environmentally sustainable cities, with emphasis on solving the challenge of access to water.
There has been no shortage of edge computing activities during 2017, in both the telco and web-scale
domains. Several Tier One communication service providers (CSPs), including AT&T, China Mobile, and
Deutsche Telecom (DT), have announced that edge computing will be a key component of their future
network strategies and expect that several new use cases will be powered by edge servers. In the cloud
domain, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are pushing further toward the edge of their own networks, creating
more points of presence throughout the world. Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods in the United States
could also be interpreted as a first attempt to obtain real estate across the U.S. market that can be used
for Amazon’s edge servers. In fact, all major web-scale companies—Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—have
announced edge computing services that are driven by IoT use cases.
Future of Broadband workshop presentation - ITU Telecom World 2013Martin Geddes
Is "bandwidth" the right resource model for broadband? This presentation suggests that the telecoms industry is in a death spiral because it has fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the resource it offers. In its place it offers a "quality" model that has the properties we desire, and enables us to properly match supply to demand.
This presentation was given at our Big Data Days Event. The presentation provides a comprehensive (albeit high level) view of the important parts of Big Data in Network Technology.

I facilitated a discussion on "Right pricing LTE … ." @ Informa's Mind Share sessions at LTE World Summit, 22th May 2012, Barcelona, Spain. I should emphasize that this presentation really is a Technologist's view on mobile data pricing and not that of a Pricing Professional (whatever that might mean) responsible for pricing today's (maybe even tomorrows) mobile data products.
Had the pleasure to deliver the key note presentation at Informa's 3G, HSPA & LTE Optimization conference in Prague. Great event with many very important presentations.
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. Not complex and should be relative easy to follow. Be aware that due to its high levelness (and no voice over) some care should be taken by the simplified examples used.
In connection with the EU Water Project awarded to CNR Catania, I gave this inspirational talk to Physics Students at Catania University and old research colleagues on how to transition from Academia to the often very non-scientific world of Corporation. How to keep your sanity, curiosity (i.e., “But Why?”) and continue to have fun throughout your career.
Hereby my Broadband MEA 2013 keynote presentation (delivered 20 March 2013).It's an Extended Re-Mix, rather than the limited slides required for the 15 minutes talk. Hopefully this gives a more rounded view on Growth Dynamics related to mobile data demand and supply in mobile networks as well as the Economics involved (which is often forgotten when the usual suspects gets exited about x1,000 challenges).
Take also a peek at my Blog on the topic:
http://techneconomyblog.com/2012/11/02/the-economics-of-the-thousand-times-challenge/
Enjoy!
Btw. apologies for the fairly hopeless format conversion in this presentation ( it looks better in real ppt format ;-).
Inspirational talk on AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning, i.e., how to give birth to an AI. Introductory and intentionally kept simple for non experts and non technical executives. Care should be taken not too over interpret some of the intentional simplified statements in the presentation.
Many of the topics addressed in this presentation can also be found in explained in more detail at my Blog http://techneconomyblog.com/
Gave this presentation at the Telecoms World Middle East 2014, 29th September. Had a lot of fun putting this work together and got me thinking a lot about the future of networking and the challenges we (Telcos) will be facing in preparing our networks for the next thing. This is a bout the Next Thing although its in reality "hitting" us now.
Have fun and Enjoy!
In case you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to get back to me.
My first Qtel Group Keynote address at the Telecoms World Middle East 2012 conference in Dubai. Its been great fun to do this parting with Europe analysis and the Outlook for the next 8 years. As I will not be totally retired by 2020 please remember that you will be able to hold me accountable for some of my predictions ;-) The Good Ones, The Bad Ones and for sure The Ugly Ones ... Enjoy and shoot back!
De-risking the broadband business model was presented at Informa's Industry Outlook 2012.

Then it takes you to the Digital Agenda 2020 for Europe and inspects what needs to happen to make it come through.
The mobile effect : disrupting the competitive landscape in the digital trave...Romain Fonnier
COMMENT LE MOBILE IMPACTE LE MARCHÉ DIGITAL DU TOURISME SELON UNE ÉTUDE CRITEO ET PHOCUSWRIGHT
Le PC représente encore environ les deux tiers des transactions en ligne de tourisme (de 64% à 71% en fonction des 8 pays étudiés). Le mobile progresse et atteint 20% (smartphones + tablettes) d’utilisation en France par exemple. Cette proportion monte à 87% pour la Chine.
La réservation sur mobile est à un stade de développement dans la plupart des pays étudiés. En France, seuls 6% des vols sont réservés sur mobile, contre 31% pour la Chine.Si l’aérien reste le point fort du PC (94% des réservations en France), le parcours d’achat mobile bénéficie principalement aux intermédiaires de voyage en ligne. Ainsi, pour acheter un billet d'avion, les mobinautes français passent d’abord par des intermédiaires (14%) puis par le vendeur direct (9%). Pour un achat hôtelier, ils sont 5 fois plus nombreux à passer par des intermédiaires (10%) que par des vendeurs directs (2%).
Investigation of Quick Handover Algorithm for Wireless Video Streaming AppRajvi Jagirdar

The indigenous Telecoms, Internet, Media & Edutainment (TIME) sector
has grown its international footprint over the last six years. The continued adoption of high-speed internet (fixed and mobile) as a direct channel opens up a significant revenue opportunity.
India telecom revenues is primarily driven by voice which constitutes to 90% of total revenues leaving only a smaller portion for data. Aegis LeadCap Research & Consulting predicts that in next 5 years share of revenue from voice will reduce down to 60% from its current state of 90%. 40% revenue from data also includes the revenue from BWA service providers like Reliance Infotel, Tikona etc. Most prominent value add services which drives data revenues include mobile internet, mobile broadband, games, location based services, video calls, mobile adverts, music, video and mobile TV.

The development of mobile wireless devices provide great potential to support work processes of field employees and has an enormous impact on the development of other strategic applications for businesses. This presentation will investigate how both the mobile worker and stationary offices can benefit from using wireless applications to increase effectiveness and efficiency of the overall organization. Simultaneously contemporary conceptual frameworks will be presented
The core of the development of the consumer Internet of Things is to improve user experience, cultivate usage habits, enhance user stickiness, and then obtain more valuable user data and realize data value-added.
I had the pleasure to provide this keynote at Deutsche Telekom AG Spectrum Summit 2022, talking about the enterprise value of being the best mobile network in a market or the word, as well as what it takes to make it to the top of the top mobile networks in the world.
I great privilege to end Ampleon Technical Conference 2021 (Nijmegen, Netherlands) with a keynote contribution on what makes Telco tick and more on what to expect from real 5G. It was as well more than 20 years since I had seen many of my old Philips colleagues (now Ampleon) which made this event very special for me as well. Of course, also super cool to see the innovation level and relevance to our deployed RAN infrastructure.
Keynote presentation at Day 2 Telecoms Europe 5G Conference. Describing, my view of the 5G standalone deployment dynamics, best timing and what benefits to customers and ourselves (MNOs) to expect. I genuinely believe that to have a successful 5G Core SA deployment we need to learn from New IT cloud native transformation journeys.
I developed this presentation to discuss the framework for automation and autonomic operations in particular in the Finance domain. It is high level introductory but includes guidance of how to best select AI and RPA projects with higher implementation success rates. If you are interested in a copy dont be shy! Reach out!
I gave this presentation at Deutsche Telekom AG's Digital Ethics Conference in Bonn on March 13 2019. It provides the background for how biases may occur in machine learning systems and what may go wrong if not corrected (or minimized).
This collection of slides are meant as a starting point and tutorial for the ones who want to understand AI Ethics and in particular the challenges around bias and fairness. Furthermore, I have also included studies on how we as humans perceive AI influence in our private as well as working lives.
My keynote from this weeks (June 12, 2018) 5G World conference in London. I focus here on AI for Telcos and in particular what can be done in the network and IT parts of the network. Making the point that there remains a lot of low hanging fruits which are simpler and easier to solve than present day image and NLP challenges. It is amazing how much you can do with fairly simple ML architectures with out going to state-of-art DL frameworks.
Had the great privilege to deliver this presentation at one of Europe's finest alternative tech conferences. Enjoyed it immensely. Check it out http://brainbar.com/#speakers and join next year!

In this talk we will present a summary of approaches and tips for getting the most out of your network infrastructure using Globus Connect Server.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Editor's Notes
Author / Presentation title 08/29/2007
Author / Presentation title 08/29/2007 Operators walled gardens are breaking down. Smartdevices (smartphones and tablets) are increasing customer adaptation of mobile data and increasing demand dramatically. OTT Apps taking over Messaging and eventually Voice Revenue. New apps based services making operator developed services redundant. New Billing based on Amazon and iTunes (etc.) are convinience replacements for traditional operator billing. The sticky SIM card is being challenged by soft SIM devices making it a lot easier for customers to change opetors. iCloud, Whitespaces are new opportunities to disruptive business models and usage patterns.

Author / Presentation title 08/29/2007 So we need to be passionate about HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY and HOW TO EARN IT BACK if we want to be around in 10 years time (possible less). Its about finding new revenue streams making up for lost legacy walled garden voice and sms; IOT and Entertainment are certainly worth keeping an eye on, being better at monetizing social media including mobile advertisement given mobile operators natural customer relationship and insights should be pursued. Finally, transforming our mobile business model to the new apps dominated world where the past natural monopoly on products and services no longer prevail will become increasingly important.
Author / Presentation title 08/29/2007 By 2015 we expect that at least 80% of the mobile devices will be smartphone based. The recent trend is that OTT Messaging and VoIP Apps have caused a reduction in ARPU that has not been compensated by increased data ARPU. Looking at 2015 operators could face a world where there is no longer any SMS revenues and mobile voice revenues has been reduced due to VoIP. The big question is how to make up for this substantial decline in ARPU and of course Topline. In some scenarios the loss that needs to be compensated could be as much as 40+% This is one of the most interesting challenges facing the mobile industry!

8 December 2011 As the demand reaches the spectral limitations the cash pressure will continue to rise as more and more network resources will be committed (i.e., densification, smarter antennas/DAS, etc..). Eventually the mobile business models break down (Note: this has also been shown by a detailed Tellabs study from February 2011) due to revenue decline (due to mobile data adaptation) and cash pressure as the spectrum limitations becomes increasingly severe.
Author / Presentation title 08/29/2007 Vision … none of the examples presented here is currently implemented but are natural measures with todays smartphone challenge. Can only be implemented effectively if there is a good collaboration across Apps, smartphone and network developers. Apps and devices needs to be better aligned traffic optimization and networks. Timed delivery outside peak hours could be an option. Requires apps, smartphone and mobile operators to collaborate closely.
