Automation will be part of all use cases that come to the network, and our key focus is on service assurance & network healing Hassan El Chami CTO, Ooredoo Kuwait
Future Net World has probably been one of the best industry events I've been to in recent years. We obsess about architecture and technology, that's not our problem & this event focuses on the exact opposite of that: designing the operations and the automation that then the technology should fit into. I think this is where change starts for sure. Geoff Hollingworth CMO, Rakuten Symphony
