In the past, we’ve seen a regular 10 year technology refresh with 2G, 3G and 4G each being added incrementally. Some believe that 5G will follow in the same cycle, although at the moment it remains vague and unpredictable. Others point out that the benefits of each new generation – mainly increasing spectral efficiency and releasing new spectrum – are reaching their full potential. This has been a key argument for small cell deployment, which increases capacity through frequency reuse without the need for additional spectrum or spectral efficiencies.

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.

Javier Benitez's talk from the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
Colt is transforming the way they do business and offer network services to customers through the adoption of SDN & NFV as part of a company-wide transformation program called Novitas. Javier Benitez will focus in this presentation on active Colt’s Novitas developments, sharing with the audience their experience in deploying SDN & NFV solutions in production both for Ethernet and IP services, the learning associated as well as their future plans. In particular, Javier Benitez will cover Colt developments around Ethernet & IP on Demand, SD VPN, SDN controlled MPLS packet core and SDN/NFV NNI standardization.
Review of the WebRTC Global Summit highlights. Some of the TADHack-mini London winners were also included. And a dangerous demo from James Body of Truphone using Jitsi which was then bought a week later by Atlasssian (congrats to Emil and the team)
As SDN & NFV services become commercially available, the industry needs to approach once again the reach issue. There is not a single service provider with complete reach; that is why we build NNIs and need a wider SDN/NFV Ecosystem.

Evolution of the Telco Services Plane
Greg Sikora, Business Development OVOO
Over the past decade the number of telecom service providers has exploded with IP-based telecom services, CPaaS / UCaaS / CCaaS providers, enterprises running their telecom services, xVNOs, etc.
All these new players have brought new skills and new approaches to the creation of telecom services, and belatedly telcos are now adopting new approaches for their Telco Services Plane.
Given our experiences across a range of service providers we’ll describe the evolution of the Telco Services Plane to support new capabilities both within and without the network. Let innovation flourish!

Supercharging CPaaS Growth & Margins with Identity and Authentication
Aditya Khurjekar, GM Prove Protocol
Mobile networks were designed for communication, yet commerce is driving most of the demand for mobile connectivity today
The growth segments in today’s digital economy benefit from CPaaS APIs for Identity verification, authentication, proofs & claims
Commerce-enabling CPaaS APIs rely on the intrinsic security of mobile network and devices
Deterministic (rather than probabilistic) authentication drastically reduces fraud, hence increases margins
The secure element in mobile devices has been under-utilized by carriers
FIDO standard presents a horizontal application opportunity for hardware based (deterministic) authentication
Authenticated ID verification is key to secure yet seamless digital onboarding, leading to financial inclusion & consumer protection
The needs of the new crypto-based (web3) economy can also be satisfied with smart CPaaS offerings that preserve anonymity/pseudonymity
The imminent ubiquity of eSIMs is timely to fight fraud in the increasingly sophisticated digital & crypto-enabled economy
It’s time for a purpose-built global payments network!

CPaaS Conversational Platforms and Conversational Customer Service – The Experience Gap”?
Ben Waymark, Chief Technology Officer, Webio.
CPaaS players are doing the low hanging, simple conversations via their conversational design and plug in’s to the messenger layer, but what are they really hoping to achieve, and should they be aimed at the developer community?
No-code low-code configurable conversational customer support have done really well by integrating with customer ticketing, and integrating other platforms into their workflows. Kustomer.com was bought for a billion, something is going right there.
Conversational experiences are becoming part of the digital customer experience. What does this look like and why might this be important for other companies to understand?

Time to ditch the ‘dumb-pipe’ – reinventing the core mobile network, to put developers first.
Mike Bromwich, CEO / Co-Founder Stacuity & Tim Dowling, Co-Founder Stacuity
The emergence of public cloud has revolutionized the way developers can muster and deploy virtual infrastructures, as and when required.
In contrast, mobile networks are still rigidly defined and protected by operators, who are unable or unwilling to offer such control and flexibility.
As a result, the mobile network operates as little more than a dumb-pipe (unless you have lots of patience and deep pockets).
Addressing this problem requires a different approach, not just the creation of a thin façade over legacy network elements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

8. Let’s Face it The Web has Won
• WebRTC is the future
• Drastically lower operating costs vs. traditional network
architectures (0.1%)
• Rich communication environment means real communications app
innovation
• WebRTC goes where your customers are going
9.
10. But we’re not there yet, IMS is still relevant
• Gateway To The Old World, When Necessary
• Re-use existing Deployments & Investments
• Enhance existing service offerings (short-term)
• Enable legacy customers in new WebRTC world (long-term)
• IMS goes where your customers are today

13. Why add WebRTC to IMS
• Telcos are interested in WebRTC because:
o Identity Providers.
o API exposure and QoS supported TURN-as-a-Service.
o OTT strategies that involve WebRTC
o WebRTC-based access to the existing legacy infrastructure/services.
• WebRTC brings IMS to any device that has a WebRTC capability.
o WebRTC allows operators to untie their services from physical devices.
• Given the above, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) started
the technical definition of a solution for a WebRTC client to access to
IMS networks through the Internet.
14. Arghhh! Yet more boxes and wires!
WebRTC IMS Client (WIC)
WebRTC Web Server Function (WWSF)
P-CSCF enhanced for WebRTC (eP-CSCF )
IMS Access GateWay enhanced for WebRTC (eIMS-AGW)
15. What’s missing? MUCH!
• Many items are further study in the specification or omitted
• Media multiplexing - running several audio/video streams on the same
address:port is not allowed
• QoS is supported, but over the internet connection is impossible
• User identification authentication for further study
• WWSF to eP-CSCF communication – this mechanism is not defined but could be
required in some applications to coordinate what HTTP/Javascript is sent to the
user or the eP-CSCF could use the WWSF as authentication/identity server
• Trickle-ICE – future study
• Decomposing the eP-CSCF – many vendors are implementing WebRTC gateway
products independent of their P-CSCF elements
• No explicit mention of TURN support
• Guest access for non-subscribers is not covered
18. By the numbers in 2013
• These numbers are an average of inflated vendor claims and operator claims on
what was actually spent. Note many deals announced of value X end up X/2
• CSCF and SBC markets finally overtook gateways and softswitches in revenue in
2013, been threatening for 3 years
• Worldwide carrier VoIP and IMS revenue reached $3.5B in 2013, up 30% from
2012, with LTE and VoLTE driving growth.
• US, China, and Japan had most of investment
• Expect 2014 to be a down year given the VoLTE delays and 2013 “hero POs”
19. CSCF Rev reached close to $1B in 2013
• Huawei / Ericsson top 30%
• NSN / ALU 20% / 10%
• RCS on IMS DOA (Dead on Arrival), simply be used for interop, see
Orange Libon
• GSMA needs compete overhaul not reacting to changes in market
o See ‘beard and sandal’ problem
o Does not understand market we are moving towards – it’s the web
20. Voice App Server Revenues Growing
• $500M, growth of about 25% pa
• Importance source of service innovation
• Difficult to charge a premium.
• Some residential licenses have been sold for IMS networks at $1 per
line (equivalent) and less.
• Average is about $1.75, drop to $1.50 over next 3 years.
28. Dumbass Memes
• QoS matters full stop!
• Regulation can not be changed!
• New services have negligible revenues!
• A2P?? What’s that! Its negligible?
• Innovation is for third parties!!!
• We’re going to monetize our APIs!!!
